UN accuses paramilitary RSF of committing war crimes in Sudan’s el-Fasher
AI Summary
The United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights has released a report accusing the Sudanese paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) of committing war crimes and a possible crime against humanity during its takeover of el-Fasher city in October 2025. The RSF, which seized control of the city after an 18-month siege, is alleged to have carried out mass killings, including the killing of hundreds of people at an El Fasher University dormitory. The report also details sexual violence and targeted attacks against civilians. The takeover led to tens of thousands of residents fleeing the city, with many describing widespread violence on their journeys out of el-Fasher. The UN report is based on interviews with over 140 victims and witnesses. The RSF's actions have been described as "like a horror movie" by survivors of the attacks.
