The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have once again come under severe criticism after being accused of digging mass graves in Sudan’s el-Fasher. The alleged act has fueled outrage across the war-torn region, deepening fears of escalating human rights violations in the Darfur area.
According to local reports, several residents claimed that RSF fighters buried bodies in hidden locations following intense clashes with the Sudanese Armed Forces. Satellite images and witness accounts reportedly point to multiple burial sites on the outskirts of el-Fasher, where the violence has surged in recent weeks.
The accusations mark another dark chapter in Sudan’s prolonged conflict, where thousands have already lost their lives and millions have been displaced. Human rights groups have urged international bodies to step in and investigate the RSF’s alleged involvement in these mass burials, calling it a serious breach of international law.
Earlier this month, Sudan’s Prime Minister urged the global community to prosecute RSF leaders for war crimes and crimes against humanity. He emphasized that the world must not ignore the growing evidence of atrocities committed by the paramilitary group. His statement came after renewed global pressure to hold the RSF accountable for their actions.
Residents of el-Fasher describe the city as trapped between fear and uncertainty. Many civilians have fled their homes, fearing further attacks and mass killings. Reports also suggest that humanitarian aid groups are struggling to reach the affected regions due to continuous fighting.
As the crisis intensifies, the RSF continues to deny the accusations, labeling them as propaganda by rival forces. However, the growing body of evidence and testimonies paints a grim picture of widespread abuse. The call for accountability and justice in Sudan grows louder each day, as the world watches the tragedy unfold.
