Aid groups sound alarm on 'atrocities' after RSF captures Sudan's el-Fasher
Sudan’s RSF are facing numerous accusations of rights violations and abuses against civilians following their takeover of el-Fasher city in the Darfur region.
Aid groups and rights organizations are sounding alarms over the deteriorating security and humanitarian situation in el-Fasher, the capital city of Sudan’s North Darfur state, after the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces captured the city over the weekend and violent attacks against civilians and field executions were reported.
On Sunday, the RSF declared victory in el-Fasher, the last major Darfur city still held by the Sudanese army, after more than 18 months of fighting and a devastating siege that left hundreds of thousands of people trapped with no access to aid, food or health care.
Since then, numerous reports have emerged about ethnic cleansing and other war crimes allegedly committed by the RSF and its allied militias against civilians.
