The RSF did not respond to NBC News regarding Musa’s account, while the International Rescue Committee reported that only about 5,000 people have fled el-Fasher to Tawila, mostly women and children, facing violence along the way. Fighting in Sudan since April 2023, between military leaders Gen. Burhan and Gen. Dagalo, has resulted in widespread atrocities, with an estimated 40,000 deaths. The RSF has begun investigating violations by its soldiers, but evidence suggests mass killings comparable to the Rwandan genocide. Humanitarian conditions have deteriorated severely, with over 14 million displaced and famine affecting many regions.
