Amnesty International Documents RSF Atrocities and Ethnic Cleansing in El Fasher, North Darfur

July 1, 2026 — Amnesty International published 'City Under Siege, Children Under Fire,' documenting Rapid Support Forces crimes against humanity and ethnic cleansing in North Darfur between early 2024 and October 2025, based on 247 interviews and 89 videos plus satellite imagery. The report details mass killings, sexual violence (26 survivors interviewed), and forced child recruitment, including the October 26, 2025 berm massacre where survivors reported more than 1,000 bodies. The findings fed directly into international pressure surrounding the US-brokered peace proposal then under discussion between Sudan's Armed Forces and the RSF, underscoring the transitional-justice stakes of any eventual settlement.
