More than three years into Sudan’s brutal conflict, this report documents the Rapid Support Forces’ siege and seizure of El Fasher, North Darfur, and grave crimes against civilians in and around the city. Based on eight months of investigation and 247 interviews, including with 39 children, Amnesty International finds that the RSF committed crimes against humanity, including murder, extermination, forcible transfer, imprisonment, torture, rape, sexual slavery, other forms of sexual violence, enslavement and persecution. In the Abu Zerega area, the RSF’s destruction of predominantly Zaghawa villages is consistent with ethnic cleansing.
