United KingdomAmnesty International has published a report alleging that Sudan's Rapid Support Forces (RSF), a paramilitary group, committed crimes against humanity and ethnic cleansing during their 18-month siege of El-Fasher in western Darfur. The report includes testimonies from over 200 survivors describing atrocities such as murder, rape, sexual slavery, and forced recruitment of children. The RSF, which has previously denied similar accusations, is accused of targeting non-Arab communities, particularly the Zaghawa ethnic group, using ethnic slurs like 'slave' or 'servant.' The conflict between Sudan's military and the RSF has led to widespread displacement and significant civilian casualties. The United Nations has noted the use of sexual violence as a weapon of war, while both the RSF and Sudanese Armed Forces have been accused of war crimes.
