Sudan’s RSF committed crimes against humanity in el-Fasher, Amnesty says | BBC News

Sudanese paramilitaries committed crimes against humanity and ethnic cleansing during their campaign to seize the city of el-Fasher last year, a rights group report said.

The siege and takeover of the city in the western region of Darfur marked one of the bloodiest episodes in Sudan’s civil war between Sudan’s army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).

“The RSF’s crimes included murder, forcible transfer, imprisonment, torture, rape, sexual slavery, other forms of sexual violence, enslavement, extermination and persecution,” said an Amnesty investigation released on Wednesday.

The RSF has not commented on the Amnesty report but has denied previous such accusations.
