Sudanese Militia That Massacred Civilians Commits Fresh Atrocities
9th November 2025
A Sudanese paramilitary group accused of slaughtering civilians in the city of El Fasher has been linked to fresh atrocities hundreds of miles to the east.
Galvanised by its capture of the last army-held stronghold in Darfur, the widely feared Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has escalated a bloody offensive against towns and cities in the Kordofan region of central Sudan.
As in El Fasher, RSF fighters have reportedly carried out summary executions and used starvation tactics as they seek to regain momentum in a two-and-a-half-year civil war that has brutalised one of Africa’s most troubled states.
The advance into Kordofan – which will bring the RSF closer to Khartoum, Sudan’s capital – is likely to deepen a crisis that has driven millions from their homes and may have claimed hundreds of thousands of lives.
