The Sudan Tribune reported on an investigation revealing severe human rights violations in El Fasher, North Darfur, following its capture by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) on October 26, 2025. This shift in control has led to allegations of genocide and ethnic cleansing, with testimonies from survivors highlighting enforced disappearances, secret burials, and widespread torture and extortion in detention centers. The humanitarian situation is dire, with the city cut off from communications and international aid, leaving most civilians detained. Only a few elderly people, women, and children remain in the city.
