Overview
- About 70% of the population now needs assistance, with roughly 30 million reliant on aid and around 12 million displaced.
- Authorities in greater Khartoum say they have identified 1,223 improvised grave sites and exhumed up to 15,000 bodies for reburial.
- Al Fashir, seized by the RSF in October, is described by returnees as a devastated city with reported massacres and civilians held for ransom.
- Open-source analysis shows RSF use of foreign-sourced weapons, including UAE-made Panthera T2 vehicles and Chinese AH-4 howitzers, though the UAE denies arming either side.
- The U.S. says RSF members committed acts of genocide and that both the RSF and Sudanese army committed war crimes, while experts assess the RSF controls roughly half the country including Darfur.
