Unmasking Genocide: UN Report Alleges Atrocities in Sudan's al-Fashir

A recent United Nations probe has found indications of genocide by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in Sudan's al-Fashir. The RSF's brutal takeover of the city resulted in mass killings, rapes, and torture, particularly targeting the non-Arab Zaghawa and Fur communities.

The UN report reveals that during the RSF's siege and subsequent capture of al-Fashir, thousands were killed over a span of three horrific days. The mission discovered evidence of ethnically-targeted attacks and life-threatening conditions orchestrated by the RSF to eradicate these communities, a key element of genocide under international law.

No response was received from the Sudanese Government or RSF leadership to the report's findings. Despite denials from the RSF, international leaders have demanded a strong response, highlighting the urgency of addressing these atrocities. Witnesses recounted chilling threats and severe human rights violations, prompting calls for urgent international intervention.
