In a dramatic revelation, UN-backed experts have reported that Sudanese rebels' brutal October onslaught on non-Arab communities in Darfur shows 'hallmarks of genocide.'
Carried out by the Rapid Support Forces, these attacks on el-Fasher involved mass killings and atrocities during an 18-month siege, aiming at the physical destruction of communities, notably the Zaghawa and the Fur.
UN officials report over 6,000 deaths and extensive atrocities, with calls for accountability. Accusations focus on the RSF, backed by UAE, as the violence threatens to spill into more regions in conflict-ridden Sudan.
