OHCHR: RSF Violations in El Fasher Capture Amount to War Crimes

The UN Human Rights Office (OHCHR) published findings in February 2026 concluding that RSF violations during the capture of El Fasher amount to war crimes under international humanitarian law. Documented violations include murder, intentional attacks on civilians, starvation as a warfare method, sexual violence, and torture. These findings follow the UN Fact-Finding Mission conclusion that the RSF committed genocide against non-Arab Indigenous ethnic groups during the 18-month siege.
