People flee Sudan paramilitary group on hands and knees

Widespread abuses

Eyewitness accounts reveal dire conditions in el-Fasher, where many residents are hiding to avoid violence and kidnapping amid a communications blackout. Tens of thousands may have died following RSF fighters’ takeover after the Sudanese military’s withdrawal, with evidence of mass graves surfacing. The RSF, led by Gen. Hemedti, faces accusations of genocide and widespread abuses as humanitarian crises escalate, impacting over 24 million people. In response, the RSF has proposed a truce to allow humanitarian aid delivery.
