Amnesty Says RSF Carried Out Crimes Against Humanity in El Fasher Campaign

The group urges a ceasefire, deployment of a UN protection force, urgent ICC probes, and suspension of arms transfers linked to RSF support.

Overview

  • Amnesty’s report concludes the Rapid Support Forces committed widespread crimes against humanity in and around El Fasher, citing murder, forcible transfer, torture, rape, sexual slavery and persecution.
  • Investigators verified mass executions at a 57 km berm network, videos showing commanders executing captives, and eyewitness accounts that place hundreds of civilian deaths during the RSF assault.
  • The report documents inhumane detention at Mina al-Bari where survivors said people were kept in shipping containers and many died from dehydration or disease.
  • Amnesty recorded large-scale sexual violence and abduction, including rape and sexual slavery of women and girls and the forcible recruitment and use of boys by RSF fighters.
  • The group names specific RSF commanders it says are responsible, says it shared findings with RSF leadership with no reply, and calls for immediate international protection, arms suspensions and strengthened ICC, UN and AU investigations.
