Sudan's Rapid Support Forces (RSF) committed crimes against humanity in the city of el-Fasher, according to a report published by Amnesty International. The organisation said its findings were based on testimony and documentation of events in the city.
The report adds to earlier evidence of atrocities in el-Fasher. The United Nations has previously said the events bore the hallmarks of genocide. The conflict in Sudan, fought between the army and the RSF, has continued for a prolonged period and triggered a major humanitarian crisis.
Amnesty called for those responsible to be held accountable and for civilians to be protected. International reactions, possible investigative steps and efforts to secure humanitarian access to the area are among the issues to watch in the period ahead.
