Civilians who escaped the captured Sudanese city of el-Fasher recount harrowing atrocities allegedly committed by RSF fighters, including shooting fleeing residents, driving over injured people, separating families, raping women, and extorting money at checkpoints. Survivors like Abdulqadir Abdullah Ali and Mohammed Abbaker Adam describe roads “full of death,” missing relatives, and young men being beaten or accused of being soldiers.
Many walked long distances through desert areas, losing loved ones along the way while struggling to reach displacement camps like al-Dabbah. Although the RSF denies systematic abuses and claims the reports are politically motivated, witnesses insist the group carried out widespread violence as it seized its biggest victory in Darfur, a chapter that has drawn international condemnation and renewed attention from President Trump.
