Warning: This story contains graphic descriptions of executions.
Fighters from the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) were filmed celebrating a massacre in El-Fasher, where an estimated 2,000 civilians were killed. As humanitarian conditions deteriorate, the International Criminal Court has announced an investigation into alleged war crimes.
On October 26, the RSF broke into the city, overwhelming the last military positions. Videos showed RSF fighters openly mocking victims as they faced brutal killings. Eyewitness accounts and satellite imagery provide chilling evidence of atrocities, including mass executions and blockades that starved the civilian population.
The RSF, previously the Janjaweed militia responsible for extensive violence in Darfur, is being scrutinized internationally. Despite attempts to reframe their image through social media campaigns, evidence of the massacre and human rights violations has provoked widespread outrage.
This situation reflects a grim chapter in the ongoing civil conflict in Sudan, signaling a dark path ahead for the nation and its people.
