Disturbing testimonies from survivors in Sudan have shed light on alleged war crimes committed by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), including mass executions, sexual violence, and forced displacement.
According to eyewitness accounts, the RSF—a group with roots in the notorious Janjaweed militias—has been targeting civilians in Khartoum and surrounding regions as part of a brutal campaign of terror. Many victims have fled to neighbouring Egypt, where they continue to live in fear.
Survivors’ Harrowing Accounts
One survivor, who escaped to Cairo, described how RSF fighters stormed her home, executing her husband and brothers before assaulting her. "They showed no mercy," she said. "They treated us like animals."
Another witness recounted seeing bodies piled in the streets after RSF troops opened fire on unarmed protesters. "They shoot anyone who resists," he claimed.
International Condemnation
Human rights organisations have called for an immediate investigation into the RSF’s actions, with mounting evidence suggesting systematic atrocities. The United Nations has urged Sudan’s transitional government to hold perpetrators accountable.
Despite denials from RSF leadership, satellite imagery and social media footage appear to corroborate survivors’ claims, further fuelling global outrage.
What Happens Next?
With Sudan’s fragile peace process at risk, pressure is growing for international intervention. However, diplomatic efforts remain stalled, leaving thousands of civilians trapped in the crossfire.
