UN finds RSF conduct in Sudan civil war amounts to genocide

A United Nations investigation alleges that Sudan's Rapid Support Forces (RSF) engaged in genocidal acts during the siege and capture of El-Fasher in north Darfur. The report describes mass killings, abduction of women and girls, gang rapes, and the use of starvation as weapons. These actions, according to the U.N. Fact-Finding Mission for Sudan, constitute a deliberate campaign of genocide. Survivors reported being raped in rooms with dead bodies, and the RSF is accused of blocking aid and attacking food production. The RSF denies the allegations, claiming they are fabricated by opponents. The U.N. human rights chief warns of similar atrocities in Al-Obeid, and the U.N. Human Rights Council has launched an urgent inquiry. Previous findings suggested genocide against non-Arab communities in El-Fasher, with new evidence indicating a systemic policy of violence.
