Overview

• An official UN fact‑finding mission concluded the RSF carried out large‑scale killings, torture, enslavement, rape, sexual slavery, forced displacement and persecution during the El‑Fasher siege.
• The report says the RSF and allied forces used starvation as a method of warfare by denying food, medicine and relief, conduct the mission says may amount to extermination.
• Findings draw on more than 200 interviews, survivor videos and remote analysis after investigators were denied entry to Sudan, with recommendations that include enforcing an arms embargo and backing the ICC.
• El‑Fasher remains largely sealed off as satellite analysis documented roughly 31 km of RSF berms encircling escape routes, while fleeing civilians report extortion, detentions and abductions on the roads.
• UN reporting also cites RSF attacks on Zamzam and Abu Shouk camps, including summary executions in Abu Shouk, and the mission notes both RSF and the army committed abuses as it probes a June drone strike that killed five aid workers.
