The Rapid Support Forces (RSF), a paramilitary group in Sudan, are facing mounting accusations of committing atrocities, including ethnic cleansing, torture, and sexual violence, as they vie for control of the country. Reports from multiple sources, including eyewitness accounts and verified footage, suggest widespread violence, particularly in Darfur and other regions. The footage, some of which has been shared on social media by RSF fighters themselves, could serve as key evidence for international courts pursuing war crimes charges.
Since April 2023, the RSF has been engaged in fierce conflict with the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF), leading to massacres in states like Gezira and Sennar, as well as the targeting of civilians in Darfur. International organizations, including the United Nations, have condemned the escalating violence, with reports of mass graves and the systematic targeting of ethnic communities such as the Masalit.
