Description

This week saw an escalation in Sudan's two year civil war as the paramilitary group Rapid Support Forces took control of the city of El-Fasher, which has been besieged for 17 months.

There have been reports of summary executions, and the killing of unarmed civilians.

Sudan has been ravaged by war since 2023. Since then, more than 150,000 people have died across the country and about 12 million have been forced to flee their homes.

The RSF is carrying out mass atrocities with impunity, according to the United Nations and Human Rights Watch.

Will this escalation finally lead to action from the international community?
