‘They shot them in front of us’: Sudan escapee details RSF atrocities
The grandmother of Ikram Abdelhameed looks on while sitting at a camp for displaced people who fled from al-Fashir to Tawila, North Darfur, Sudan, October 27, 2025.
Sudanese paramilitary forces beat and shot men fleeing from a long-besieged city in Darfur after capturing it, according to an account from an escapee corroborated by statements from aid officials, satellite images, and unverified social media videos.
As al-Fashir, the Sudanese army's last significant holdout in the western region of Darfur, fell to the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) on Sunday, Ikram Abdelhameed and her three children and grandson were among thousands of civilians trying to leave.
