Sudan’s prime minister has urged that crimes committed by the Rapid Support Forces in El-Fasher be prosecuted in international courts. But Kamil Idris, in an interview with Switzerland's Blick newspaper published on Sunday, rejected the "illegal" idea of foreign troops being deployed to his country, ravaged by civil war since April 2023.

"The international community has done too little," said Idris.

"We need acts, not just words. Every crime needs to be prosecuted in the courts, including at the international level."

After 18 months of siege, bombardment and starvation, the RSF took control of El-Fasher on Oct.26, dislodging the army's last stronghold in Sudan's western Darfur region.

In the days since the city's capture survivors have reported executions, pillaging, rape and other atrocities, sparking an international outcry.
