Australia has strongly condemned alleged atrocities committed by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in Sudan, following reports that the paramilitary group has executed thousands of civilians following recent military advances. These claims have sparked international concern and calls for an independent investigation into the alleged crimes. The Sudanese army, which had previously been in control of the city of El-Fasher, has reportedly withdrawn from the area, raising fears of escalating conflict and a deepening humanitarian crisis.
The United Nations has expressed alarm over the potential for further violence and the impact on the civilian population, urging immediate efforts to prevent further bloodshed. Human rights organizations have called on the Sudanese government and international actors to ensure accountability for any war crimes committed. Meanwhile, the situation in Sudan continues to be a focal point for global attention, with the potential for further displacement and suffering for local communities.
