Amnesty International accuses RSF of crimes against humanity and ethnic cleansing in el-Fasher.
Amnesty International released a report on July 1, 2026 alleging that Sudan's Rapid Support Forces committed crimes against humanity and ethnic cleansing during their siege and capture of el-Fasher between 2024 and 2025. The report documented systematic attacks on civilians, particularly targeting the Zaghawa ethnic group and children. A UN fact-finding mission had previously concluded the assault bore the hallmarks of genocide.
