Overview
- The International Criminal Court said it is deeply concerned and is collecting and securing evidence for potential charges tied to alleged mass killings and rapes after the RSF seized the city.
- An IPC expert panel confirmed famine in Al‑Fashir and Kadugli, with more than 375,000 people in the most severe crisis category and 21 million facing hunger nationwide.
- Yale satellite analysis identified 31 clusters resembling human bodies across Al‑Fashir, suggesting possible mass deaths, detentions or residents in hiding.
- The UN reports about 65,000 people have fled Al‑Fashir while tens of thousands remain trapped, and a separate update notes 36,800 fled five towns in Kordofan as fighting spreads.
- With Al‑Fashir’s fall, the RSF controls all five major Darfur cities, as aid groups and survivors report ethnically targeted atrocities, and five Red Crescent volunteers were killed during an official mission.
