According to the report, new satellite imagery suggests that mass killings are likely continuing in and around the Sudanese city of El-Fasher, Yale researchers said, days after it fell to the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces.
The report also stated that since the city’s fall, reports have emerged of summary executions, sexual violence, attacks on aid workers, looting, and abductions, while communications remain largely cut off.
The report also said that survivors from El-Fasher who reached the nearby town of Tawila have told AFP of mass killings, children shot before their parents, and civilians beaten and robbed as they fled. The UN said more than 65,000 people have fled El-Fasher but tens of thousands remain trapped, and around 260,000 people were in the city before the RSF’s final assault.
In addition to the report, the RSF claimed to have arrested several fighters accused of abuses on Thursday, but UN humanitarian chief Tom Fletcher questioned the RSF’s commitment to investigate violations.
Both the RSF and the army have faced war crimes accusations over the course of the conflict.
El-Fasher’s capture gives the RSF full control over all five state capitals in Darfur, effectively splitting Sudan along an east-west axis, with the army controlling the north, east and center.
