RSF Accused of Mass Killings and Body Disposal Near Civilian Sites in Darfur, as Fighting Rages On
El-Fasher, Sudan – As the Sudanese civil war enters its third year, the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) are facing accusations of mass atrocities in el-Fasher, Darfur. Researchers at Yale University’s Humanitarian Research Lab (HRL) have released satellite imagery indicating the RSF is burning and burying bodies at multiple locations in and around the city, including near a university, a mosque, a camp for internally displaced persons, and a hospital.
The findings have sparked outrage and concern for the safety of an estimated 150,000 unaccounted-for civilians in the area. According to Nathaniel Raymond, lead researcher of the HRL report, the streets of el-Fasher are now patrolled by RSF fighters, with markets and water points deserted, and charred bodies found.
“We can see them charred. So the question is, where are the people and where are the bodies coming from?” Raymond told Al Jazeera. He also noted that the RSF themselves are documenting and releasing videos of their actions.
Meanwhile, the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) have reported retaking territory in North Kordofan from the RSF, including Kazqil and Um Dam Haj Ahmed, signaling a potential escalation of fighting in the strategic region. The battles come despite the RSF’s recent announcement that they accepted a ceasefire proposal mediated by the United States. The SAF has rejected the ceasefire, and both sides continue to reinforce their positions in central Sudan.
The conflict, which began in April 2023, has created the world’s largest displacement crisis, with over 12 million people forced from their homes. The United Nations has confirmed widespread starvation across parts of Sudan. The continued fighting and allegations of atrocities raise serious concerns about the ongoing humanitarian crisis and the prospects for peace in the region.
