The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have recently captured El-Fasher, the capital of North Darfur, after an 18-month siege, leading to widespread reports of mass executions. Allies of the Sudanese Army claim that RSF fighters executed over 2,000 unarmed civilians, primarily women, children, and the elderly, during the takeover on October 26 and 27. Local and international NGOs had previously warned that the fall of El-Fasher could lead to significant atrocities, a concern echoed by Yale University's Humanitarian Research Lab, which reported systematic ethnic cleansing against non-Arab communities. The UN rights chief has also highlighted the increasing risk of ethnically motivated violence in the area. Activists have documented severe violence and ethnic cleansing since the RSF's control, with evidence of targeted killings and forced displacements. The RSF's history of atrocities raises serious questions about the humanitarian crisis unfolding in Darfur.
