A UN report states that over 6,000 people were killed in the Sudanese city of el-Fasher in just three days during an offensive by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) last year. The report, based on testimony from victims and witnesses, details horrific scenes of violence against civilians. The RSF has not commented on the report but has denied previous accusations. Sudan has been embroiled in a nearly three-year power struggle between the army and the RSF, resulting in hundreds of thousands of deaths and over 13 million displaced. Both sides have been accused of atrocities, including sexual violence. International pressure is mounting to end the conflict, with the UK recently imposing sanctions on key figures from both sides and their alleged backers.
