US Edition'Fifty or sixty people in a single street': Witnesses describe civilian killings in Sudan's al-Fashir
The Rapid Support Forces' offensive in Darfur resulted in dozens of civilian deaths and reports of mass graves, marking a significant escalation in the ongoing two-and-a-half-year conflict.
- On October 26, the Rapid Support Forces seized al-Fashir, cementing RSF control of Darfur as witnesses said civilians were shot, targeted by drone strikes, and crushed by trucks.
- As part of a two-and-a-half-year war, the Rapid Support Forces pushed to capture al-Fashir, raiding homes after seizing the Sudanese army base and triggering street-by-street killings.
- Satellite imagery and eyewitness videos show evidence of mass killings, with Mubarak saying `Fifty or sixty people in a single street... they kill them bang, bang, bang.` Abdallah saw 40 dead bodies, and Yale's Humanitarian Research Lab reported objects suggesting mass graves last week.
- On Friday, U.N. human rights chief Volker Turk warned that traumatized civilians remain trapped inside al-Fashir amid ongoing atrocities, while displaced people fled to al-Dabba over 1,000 km away and Tawila.
- Amid international alarm, videos showed soldiers killing civilians on the outskirts, an RSF leader told Reuters investigations were underway and residents reported drones following civilians, with attacks on Khartoum and Atbara on Friday.
