UN demands probe into 'horrific accounts' of executions, gang rapes, abductions in Sudan

The United Nations has called for an urgent investigation into reports of mass killings, executions, gang rapes, and abductions in El-Fasher, Sudan, after the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces seized the city from the army. Survivors and videos have described harrowing scenes of violence, including summary executions and attacks on civilians, with the death toll potentially reaching into the hundreds. The Rapid Support Forces claim to have arrested some perpetrators, but skepticism remains about whether this will halt the violence, which is spreading to neighboring regions and targeting non-Arab communities. The conflict has displaced tens of thousands, and both the army and the paramilitaries face accusations of war crimes as Sudan's humanitarian crisis deepens.
