Sudan paramilitaries accused of crimes against humanity over siege of key city
Sudan's RSF paramilitaries stand accused of crimes against humanity in the siege of el-Fasher, according to a UN report. The report details deliberate targeting of civilians through attacks, executions, torture, and denial of basic necessities like food and medical care. The RSF's alleged actions in el-Fasher, including using starvation as a weapon, may amount to extermination, prompting calls for international action and justice for victims in Sudan's ongoing civil war.
