Amnesty International has accused Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces (RSF) of committing crimes against humanity and carrying out ethnic cleansing during their military campaign in and around El Fasher between 2024 and 2025.
In a report released on Wednesday, the rights organisation said RSF forces conducted systematic attacks against civilian communities in North Darfur during their offensive to seize the city.
The report calls on the international community to take urgent action to prevent further atrocities and hold those responsible accountable.
Sudan has been engulfed in conflict since April 2023, when fighting erupted between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the RSF, a war that the United Nations says has killed tens of thousands of people and displaced millions.
Earlier this year, an independent UN fact-finding mission concluded that the RSF’s 2025 offensive on El Fasher bore “the hallmarks of genocide.”
