EL FASHER JANUARY 2: For the first time in two months, a UN team entered Al-Fashir in Sudan’s Darfur region. The terrorist organisation Rapid Support Forces (RSF) are accused of massacres after taking the city in October. UN observers described Al-Fashir as a massive crime scene, suspecting a large RSF cleanup operation.
Hundreds of civilians remain, lacking food, medicine, and shelter, while more than 100,000 have fled. Survivors recounted summary executions, sexual violence, and other systematic atrocities. The UN could only conduct limited investigations under RSF supervision, with many detained or injured still inside.
Mohamed Vall reports from Kosti, in the White Nile State. Renard Doussi from Solidarites International told Al Jazeera that the situation is worse than UN findings suggest.
Women and children make up the majority of those fleeing, facing extreme violence and prolonged displacement. Eyewitness accounts describe killings, repeated sexual assaults, looting, and deliberate destruction of social structures.
