UN investigators provide additional evidence of genocide by RSF in Sudan’s el-Fasher Submitted by Sondos Asem on Thu, 07/09/2026 - 15:46 Survivor testimony show fresh evidence of rape and mass atrocities during el-Fasher's takeover by the UAE-backed paramilitary Displaced Sudanese people who left El-Fasher after its fall, sit in the shade in Tawila amid the remains of a fire that broke out in the camp on 11 February 2026 (AFP) Off The United Nations Fact-Finding Mission for Sudan (FFMS) on Wednesday released a new tranche of survivor testimony from the fall of Darfur's el-Fasher, in evidence corroborating a recent report accusing the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) of commiting genocide against non-Arab communities. In a conference room paper, the mission said its evidence base had grown to 333 survivor interviews, up from 320 in February, and that the new material "reaffirmed" its conclusion that the RSF’s October takeover of the North Darfur capital "bore the hallmarks of genocide". The FFMS is an independent investigative mechanism established by the UN Human Rights Council to document violations of international human rights and humanitarian law committed during Sudan's war, which broke out between the RSF and Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) in April 2023.
