More than 6,000 people were killed in late October in Sudan's Darfur region during an offensive by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) to capture El Fasher, the last stronghold of the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF). A report by the United Nations (UN) Human Rights Office detailed widespread atrocities, including mass killings, sexual violence, abductions, torture, and detentions, which amount to war crimes and possible crimes against humanity. Volker Türk, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, condemned the violence and called for accountability. Hemedti, the RSF general, acknowledged abuses but disputed their scale. The International — International Criminal Court (ICC) is investigating these atrocities, and the United States — Presidency of Joe Biden has accused the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) of genocide. The conflict, which began in April 2023, has created the world's largest humanitarian crisis in Sudan.
