UN probe unveils RSF's 'planned genocide' in El Fasher, Sudan
Displaced people ride an animal-drawn cart, following Rapid Support Forces (RSF) attacks on Zamzam displacement camp, in the town of Tawila, North Darfur, Sudan, April 15, 2025.
Mass killings of non‑Arab communities when the Rapid Support Forces paramilitary group captured the Sudanese city of El Fasher bears hallmarks that point to genocide, an independent UN probe said in a new report on Thursday.
At the end of October last year, the RSF took over the city - which had been the last remaining stronghold of the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) in the Darfur region in the west of the country - with thousands of people killed and raped during three days of horror, the UN Independent International Fact-Finding Mission for Sudan said.
