Summary

In Sudan, the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have been accused of committing widespread human rights violations, including killings, executions, disappearances, sexual violence, displacement, and detentions, particularly in the region of Darfur. The United Nations has documented over 6,000 deaths during the first three days of the final offensive in El Fasher, with the actual figure likely higher. Additionally, the RSF is alleged to have arbitrarily detained approximately 9,000 people at Shala Prison in El Fasher, with reports of deaths in custody, torture, ill-treatment, and life-threatening conditions due to lack of food, water, and medical care. The conflict has also led to severe food insecurity, affecting nearly 19.5 million Sudanese, with 825,000 children under the age of five suffering from severe acute malnutrition. International investigations have documented widespread sexual violence against women and girls by the RSF.
