Disturbing Video Evidence Exposes RSF Atrocities in Sudan
Newly verified video footage has exposed brutal atrocities by Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces (RSF) during their seizure of el-Fasher, North Darfur’s capital. The clips, verified by human rights groups, show summary executions, mass displacement, and burning neighborhoods—echoing Darfur’s darkest history. As global leaders condemn the violence, civilians face escalating terror in Sudan’s civil war.
el-Fasher Falls: A Strategic and Humanitarian Disaster
El-Fasher—the last major Darfur city not under RSF control—succumbed after weeks of fierce combat. The paramilitary group, accused of ethnic cleansing, overpowered Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF), leaving civilians vulnerable to massacres and looting. Eyewitnesses describe targeted attacks on non-Arab communities, reigniting genocide fears.
- Verified Footage: One geolocated video shows RSF fighters executing bound SAF soldiers. Another captures families fleeing burning homes under gunfire.
- Civilian Testimony: “They kill everyone—no one is safe,” a displaced woman told NextMinuteNews via WhatsApp.
Ethnic Violence and Historical Parallels
The RSF, evolved from the genocidal Janjaweed militias, is accused of targeting the Masalit, Fur, and Zaghawa ethnic groups. Analysts warn el-Fasher’s fall may unleash further ethnic cleansing.
- Death Toll: Over 200 civilians killed in 72 hours, per Sudanese doctors. Mass graves suggest higher numbers.
- ICC Action: The International Criminal Court has reopened probes into RSF leaders, including commander Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo (“Hemedti”).
Global Response: Condemnation Without Action
While the UN and U.S. call the videos “alarming,” concrete intervention is absent. The African Union urges mediation, but with global focus on Gaza and Ukraine, Darfur risks abandonment.
- Aid Blockade: RSF restrictions have cut off food and medical supplies, worsening famine conditions for 700,000 people.
- Local Plea: “We need protection, not statements,” an aid worker said anonymously.
What’s Next for Sudan?
With RSF advancing and SAF vowing retaliation, Sudan’s war escalates. Diplomatic efforts stall as civilians pay the price. Activists demand justice—but will the world listen?
