Survivors of Sudan's El-Fasher say RSF is separating families and killing children

  • On October 26, 2025 the Rapid Support Forces seized El-Fasher, and army allies accused them of killing up to 2,000 civilians during the assault.
  • Since April 2023 the conflict between the RSF and Sudan's army has escalated, with an 18-month siege leading to the RSF capturing El-Fasher as it pushed to control Darfur.
  • MSF and eyewitnesses reported that a group of 500 fleeing civilians and soldiers was mostly killed or captured, with survivors describing gender- and age-based separations and ransom demands up to $50,000.
  • Humanitarian groups warn that blockades and blackouts are preventing aid as only 5,000 people have reached Tawila while more than 65,000 have fled El-Fasher since Sunday.
  • International actors have flagged genocide allegations and ICC probes as the US says the RSF committed genocide in Darfur, while UN reports tie RSF weapons to the UAE, fueling boycott calls and social-media outrage.
