Overview
- A Sudanese medical network accused the Rapid Support Forces of collecting bodies from El‑Fasher’s streets and burning or burying them in mass graves to hide mass killings, with escapees reporting deaths on the road from wounds and lack of food or water.
- UN experts reported credible accounts of executions by RSF that constitute war crimes and may amount to crimes against humanity, while an RSF officer rejected the allegations and the group circulated directives urging protection of civilians.
- ABC News‑verified videos and satellite analysis by Yale’s Humanitarian Research Lab show burned vehicles, clusters consistent with bodies, a defensive berm encircling the city, and apparent executions of civilians trying to flee.
- The UN‑backed IPC declared famine in El‑Fasher and nearby areas, and Doctors Without Borders detailed hundreds of war‑wounded and “catastrophic” malnutrition among new arrivals treated in Tawila.
- The International Organization for Migration estimates roughly 82,000 people fled after the October 26 takeover, the RSF says it accepted a Quad‑brokered humanitarian truce, the army set conditions for any pause, and humanitarian access remains severely constrained.
