Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) leader Abdel Fattah al-Burhan announced the withdrawal of his forces from their last stronghold in the wider Darfur region late on Monday, a day after the paramilitary RSF seized control of the main Sudanese army base in el-Fasher and declared victory there.<\/p>\n<section class=\"more-on\">\n<h2 class=\"more-on__heading\">Recommended Stories<!-- --> <\/h2>\n<p><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">list of 3 items<\/span><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">end of list<\/span><\/section>\n<p>The fall of el-Fasher has \u201cresulted in the carpet-bombing of large swaths of the city by Sudan Armed Forces, an unknown number of civilian casualties caused by both sides, and almost 15 months of IPC-5 Famine conditions in areas caused by RSF\u2019s siege of the city\u201d, the HRL report said. The HRL determined this by reviewing satellite imagery and open source and remote sensing data from Monday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEl-Fasher appears to be in a systematic and intentional process of ethnic cleansing of Fur, Zaghawa, and Berti indigenous non-Arab communities through forced displacement and summary execution,\u201d the HRL said.<\/p>\n<p>The RSF has long been accused of targeting non-Arab communities in Darfur, and the HRL, aid groups and experts have previously warned of mass violence and displacement if el-Fasher fell.<\/p>\n<p>HRL\u2019s report showed images containing clusters of objects and ground discolouration that it believes to be evidence of human bodies. The HRL appears to back up other accounts from aid groups that reported chaotic scenes on the ground, including killings, arrests and attacks on hospitals.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe actions by RSF presented in this report may be consistent with war crimes and crimes against humanity (CAH) and may rise to the level of genocide,\u201d the report said.<\/p>\n<p>The war in Sudan between the RSF and the SAF began on April 15, 2023 and has become the world\u2019s worst humanitarian crisis, with tens of thousands killed and more than 12 million people displaced. There are also fears that Sudan could once again split, more than a decade after the creation of South Sudan.<\/p>\n<p>Darfur is an RSF stronghold while the SAF controls the Sudanese capital Khartoum, as well as the north and east of the country. The RSF advance comes shortly after talks last week by the Quad \u2013 a bloc of nations comprised of the United States, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and the United Arab Emirates \u2013 which laid out a roadmap aimed at ending the war in Sudan.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yale\u2019s Humanitarian Research Lab says satellite images appear to show mass killings in Sudan\u2019s western city of el-Fasher.
