RSF condemned Over Genocide and War Crimes in El Fasher

 

The Government of Sudan has condemned what it described as genocide and war crimes committed by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia in the city of El Fasher, the capital of North Darfur, following a brutal siege that has lasted nearly two years.

Speaking during a press conference in Nairobi Sudanese ambassador to Kenya Mohamed Osman Akasha, said the once-thriving historic city has suffered “one of the darkest sieges in modern history,” with more than one million civilians trapped under relentless bombardment and deprivation.
 “The terrorist Rapid Support Forces militia surrounded El Fasher, bombarding it day and night with artillery, drones, and sniper fire. They cut off all supply routes, blocking food, medicine, and fuel,” the statement read.
According to the official, hospitals have been destroyed, humanitarian convoys looted, and entire neighborhoods burned to the ground during the siege. Civilians have reportedly faced starvation, displacement, and widespread atrocities at the hands of the RSF militia.

The situation deteriorated further after the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) announced a tactical withdrawal from El Fasher on October 26 to prevent “total annihilation” of civilians. The government said the withdrawal was intended to create humanitarian space, but instead, RSF fighters entered the city and launched a campaign of what officials called “pure extermination.”

 “What has followed is nothing short of genocide — the deliberate, systematic killing of innocent men, women, and children,” the government said, calling for global attention to the humanitarian catastrophe.
The Sudanese government urged the international community, including the United Nations, the African Union, and global human rights bodies, to investigate the atrocities and hold the perpetrators accountable.

Officials reiterated Khartoum’s commitment to restoring peace, protecting civilians, and bringing those responsible for war crimes and crimes against humanity to justice.

With 14 million in Darfur at risk of famine, displacement, and further atrocities, aid access is critical. The government’s appeal for food, medical supplies, and monitoring is urgent—hospitals lie in ruins, and up to 400,000 have fled to camps like Tawila.

Traders have raised serious allegations against Lillian, accusing her of arrogance, intimidation, high-handed conduct, and issuing threats. They claim she has been soliciting bribes by demanding that traders pay market fees directly to her instead of remitting them through official county revenue channels. As a result of these alleged corrupt practices, the county has reportedly suffered significant revenue losses from the market. According to the traders, it is estimated that Lillian illegally collects approximately KSh 7,000 daily from traders who hand over cash directly rather than paying the county. The situation has also caused dissatisfaction among officers working under her, who allege that they are required to remit a fixed amount of money to Lillian every evening. Lillian is further alleged to claim that the money collected is shared with senior county officials, including the County Secretary, the CECM in charge of markets, the Chief Officer, and the Governor’s of...
