RSF Militia Commits Atrocities in Sudan City

New videos analyzed by BBC Verify show executions carried out by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia after they captured the Sudanese city of el-Fasher. The RSF has been engaged in a brutal war with the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) for over two years, resulting in over 150,000 deaths and 12 million displaced people. The UN's Sudan coordinator reported 'credible reports of summary executions' in el-Fasher, and BBC Verify geolocated one video showing the summary shooting of an unarmed man at a university building. The RSF has a history of carrying out ethnically-based summary killings, and analysts warn of potential ethnic cleansing. The capture of el-Fasher is significant as it was the last major urban centre in Darfur held by government forces.

Tens of thousands of people are believed to have been killed in the Sudanese city of Al Fashir after the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) captured the regional capital. Satellite images analyzed by Yale Humanitarian Labs show stains and shapes resembling blood and corpses. The RSF has been accused of carrying out atrocities, including killing patients and staff at Al Saudi Hospital. The commander of the RSF, Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, has acknowledged 'violations' and promised an investigation. Journalists and politicians are being held captive by the RSF, with some families being demanded ransoms for their release.

The article reports on the chaos and brutality that ensued after the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) captured the city of El Fasher in North Darfur, Sudan. Thousands of civilians fled the city, sharing stories of RSF atrocities, including the killing of civilians and wounded soldiers in hospitals. Witnesses described being captured, tortured, and held for ransom by the RSF and allied militias. The UN has condemned the RSF's actions, and the Sudan Liberation Army faction has deployed additional fighters to protect those fleeing El Fasher. The conflict has created a humanitarian crisis, with over 10 million people displaced internally and 4 million fleeing to neighboring countries.
