ICC Opens Probe as Evidence Points to Mass Killings in Al-Fashir

An expert IPC panel has declared famine in parts of Sudan, underscoring a fast‑deteriorating crisis in Darfur.

Overview

  • Yale researchers identified 31 clusters resembling human bodies across neighborhoods, the university campus and military sites in Al-Fashir.
  • UNHCR reports more than 26,000 people fled to the Tawila camp after the RSF seized the city following an 18‑month siege.
  • The Sudanese army accuses the RSF of executing over 2,000 unarmed civilians as the militia consolidates control of all five major Darfur cities.
  • Prime Minister Kamil Idris urges UN member states to label the RSF a terrorist organization and pursue international legal action, while rejecting a UN troop deployment.
  • An IPC expert panel confirms famine in parts of Sudan including Al-Fashir and Kadugli, with aid groups citing 375,000 at the highest crisis level and 21 million facing hunger; five Red Crescent volunteers were also reported killed during an official mission in Bara.
