Amnesty says RSF committed ethnic cleansing in Sudan's el-Fasher
Rights group accuses the Sudanese paramilitary of ‘crimes against humanity’ for its attacks in and around the capital of North Darfur State.The Sudanese paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has committed crimes against humanity and ethnic cleansing during their attack on el-Fasher city between 2024 and 2025, rights group Amnesty International alleges.
In a report published on Wednesday, Amnesty said it documented how civilians in and around the capital of North Darfur State in western Sudan were “killed, injured, beaten, tortured and detained between early 2024 and October 2025”.
“The RSF’s crimes included murder, forcible transfer, imprisonment, torture, rape, sexual slavery, other forms of sexual violence, enslavement, extermination and persecution,” it said in the report.
“Hundreds of thousands of children have been displaced, many of them repeatedly risking death and injury during attacks or while fleeing. Countless have been orphaned. People with disabilities and older people have faced acute risks, including targeted attacks, abandonment, and exclusion from essential assistance,” it added.
