The tragedies

Since April 15th, 2023 the situation in Darfur & Sudan has deteriorated further with attacks from the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). The RSF has been responsible for numerous atrocities, including mass killings, rape, and forced displacement, aimed particularly at marginalized ethnic groups.

We are focused on advocating for and supporting our people affected by severe human rights abuses, including ethnic targeting, sexual violence, and displacement.

The tragedies

The RSF militias are actively involved in a variety of violent and abusive activities, such as looting markets, deliberately targeting civilian areas with missiles, setting fire to villages, and subjecting individuals to torture.

The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have been using missiles to target medical facilities in El-Fasher, the capital city of the Darfur region. This strategy is perceived as a deliberate effort to cripple the city’s health sector and forcibly displace its residents. The indiscriminate shelling has resulted in the total or partial destruction of all hospitals and medical facilities within the city, severely undermining the capacity to provide essential healthcare services.
