RSF Fighters Film Execution in El-Fasher Hospital Massacre
In a horrific incident that has sparked global outrage, Rapid Support Forces (RSF) fighters were filmed executing unarmed civilians inside a hospital in el-Fasher, the capital of North Darfur, Sudan. The graphic footage, circulating on social media, shows RSF soldiers gunning down patients and medical staff in what human rights groups call a war crime.
Eyewitness Accounts of the El-Fasher Massacre
Survivors describe a scene of terror as RSF fighters stormed the hospital—already overwhelmed with casualties from clashes between the RSF and the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF). Witnesses say patients, including women and children, were dragged from beds and executed in cold blood. Shockingly, the attackers filmed their crimes, with one video showing a fighter laughing as he shoots a wounded man at point-blank range.
The hospital, one of the few functioning medical centers in Darfur, was allegedly targeted for treating SAF soldiers. However, survivors insist most victims were civilians trapped in Sudan’s civil war.
International Condemnation and Calls for Justice
The United Nations, African Union, and Western governments have demanded an immediate investigation. Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch labeled the killings “egregious violations of international law.”
Doctors Without Borders (MSF), operating in the region, reported at least 25 killed, including medical staff, with many more missing. A spokesperson stated: “This is a deliberate act of terror to punish civilians.”
RSF’s History of Atrocities in Darfur
The massacre is the latest in a string of RSF war crimes, echoing the Janjaweed militias’ genocide in Darfur 20 years ago. Since Sudan’s civil war erupted in April 2023, reports of ethnic cleansing, mass killings, and sexual violence have surged.
Satellite images and testimonies reveal burned villages and mass displacement, with non-Arab communities targeted.
Weak Global Response and Humanitarian Crisis
Despite sanctions on RSF leaders, critics say stronger action (arms embargoes, ICC prosecutions) is needed. Over 10 million are displaced, and famine threatens as aid access dwindles.
Conclusion: Will the World Act?
The el-Fasher massacre underscores the international community’s failure to protect civilians. As atrocities mount, Sudan’s people await justice—or more empty condemnations.
