UN accuses RSF of war crimes in Sudan’s el-Fasher

The United Nations human rights office has accused the Sudanese paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) of committing war crimes and possible crimes against humanity during their takeover of el-Fasher in Sudan last year. The report found acts such as murder, attacks on civilians, sexual violence, torture, and starvation as weapons of war. The RSF seized control of the city after an 18-month siege, resulting in mass killings and atrocities, prompting calls for investigations and accountability from the UN and human rights advocates.
