Emerging evidence of systematic killings in the Sudanese city of el-Fasher have prompted human rights and aid activists to describe the civil war between the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and the military as a “continuation of the Darfur genocide”.
The fall of el-Fasher, in the Darfur region, after an 18-month RSF siege brings together the different layers of the country’s conflict – with echoes of its dark past and the brutality of its present-day war.
RSF emerged from the Janjaweed, Arab militias who massacred hundreds of thousands of Darfuris from non-Arab populations, in the early 2000s.
The paramilitary force has been accused of ethnic killings since its power struggle with the army erupted into violence in April 2023, but the RSF leadership has consistently denied the accusations – although on Wednesday its leader Gen Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo admitted to “violations” in el-Fasher.
