Sudan: Amnesty condemns war crimes committed by paramilitary group

In a report, the international rights group said that it gathered testimony describing barbarities carried out by the Rapid Support Forces, or RSF, when its fighters wrestled control of El-Fasher, the capital of North Darfur province, from the army late last month.

The group said that the atrocities included executing dozens of unarmed men and raping women and girls. Amnesty said that other people were taken hostage by RSF fighters for ransom, and that witnesses said they saw “hundreds of dead bodies left lying” in the city’s streets and on main roads out of El-Fasher.
