RSF Accused of Committing Genocide in Darfur's El Fasher
The report says 247 victims and witnesses described killings, torture and sexual violence as the RSF sought to seize the city.
- Amnesty International released a report on Wednesday documenting that the Rapid Support Forces committed crimes against humanity and ethnic cleansing in El Fasher, North Darfur, between 2024 and October 2025.
- During the 18-month siege of El Fasher, the RSF systematically targeted the Zaghawa ethnic group, culminating in an October 26, 2025, massacre where hundreds were executed after encountering a 57km network of berms.
- Amnesty researchers analyzed 89 videos and interviewed 247 people, documenting widespread sexual violence and a manufactured famine where the RSF restricted humanitarian supplies, forcing civilians to eat animal feed.
- Calling the siege "a stain on the conscience of humanity," Secretary General Agnès Callamard urged an immediate ceasefire and the urgent deployment of an international force to protect civilians.
- The organization called on the United Nations Security Council to expand the existing Darfur arms embargo to the entire country and urged all nations to stop weapons supplies to the conflict.
