Survivors of the attacks in El Fasher report mass atrocities and killings committed by the Rapid Support Forces after a year and a half of siege under horrific conditions, with no access to basic necessities. Civilians who fled describe widespread violence, including torture, kidnappings for ransom, sexual violence, disproportionately affecting women and girls, and summary executions as they attempted to escape. More than 1,000 days into the conflict, atrocities persist, and large-scale attacks are becoming a recurring pattern. Immediate and collective action is required to cease these crimes and prevent similar atrocities in other regions of Sudan.
