UN launches urgent inquiry into Sudan’s El-Obeid after finding ‘hallmarks of genocide’ by RSF in El-Fasher
NEW YORK CITY: Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces committed mass killings, systematic abductions of women and girls and mass gang rape in El-Fasher, the UN Fact-Finding Mission for Sudan said in a new report on Wednesday.
The findings add further weight to evidence that atrocities committed by the warring parties constitute distinct markers of genocide.
The Mission warned that similar patterns of civilian devastation are now emerging in El-Obeid, where it is launching an urgent inquiry into alleged human rights violations and abuses.
The findings build on the Mission’s earlier report, “Hallmarks of Genocide in El-Fasher,” and detail additional evidence of atrocities including detention, torture, ransom-taking and the enforced disappearance of civilians.
