As the Sudan conflict intensifies, government officials condemn RSF attacks in El-Fasher while survivors recount brutal killings and destruction across the war-torn region.
The Sudanese government has accused the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) of committing “war crimes” in El-Fasher, the capital of North Darfur, as new reports emerge of mass killings, looting, and targeted violence against civilians. Survivors describe scenes of devastation that underscore the deepening humanitarian crisis in Sudan’s ongoing conflict.
Survivors Describe “Days of Terror”
Residents who fled El-Fasher told local media that RSF fighters stormed neighborhoods, executing civilians and setting fire to homes. One survivor described the assault as “days of terror we will never forget,” adding that dozens of families were trapped as fighting engulfed residential areas.
Eyewitness accounts point to systematic killings and forced displacements, with aid workers warning that thousands of civilians remain cut off from food, water, and medical assistance.
Government Condemnation and Global Outcry
Sudan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs released a statement condemning the RSF’s actions as “organized massacres and deliberate war crimes.” The government called for urgent international intervention and accountability through global human rights mechanisms.
International observers, including the United Nations and African Union, have voiced alarm at the escalating violence in Darfur, a region long haunted by ethnic conflict and displacement. Human rights organizations have also urged independent investigations into what they describe as “grave violations of international law.”
A Deepening Humanitarian Crisis
The Sudan conflict between the national army and the Rapid Support Forces has pushed millions to flee their homes since erupting in April 2023. El-Fasher, one of the last major cities under army control in Darfur, has become a flashpoint for brutal urban warfare and civilian suffering.
Relief agencies warn that hospitals are overwhelmed, while aid convoys struggle to reach the city due to ongoing clashes. The RSF attacks in El-Fasher mark another tragic chapter in a war that has already displaced more than 10 million people across Sudan.
Calls for Justice and Peace
As survivors recount their losses, calls for justice are growing louder. Many fear that without global accountability, the atrocities will continue unchecked. Sudanese activists are urging the international community to step in and pressure both sides toward peace — before the humanitarian toll worsens.
