"Sudan's Dire Human Rights Crisis Under RSF Rule: Urgent Action Needed"

The paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have turned Sudan’s capital Khartoum into a plundered, lawless, and bloodied shell of its historic self, controlling most of the city, looting markets, homes, and setting up checkpoints, leading to a general state of fear and a curfew. The RSF, historically known as the Janjaweed, are committing atrocities, including looting, arson, and sexual violence, prompting a major humanitarian crisis and a desperate reliance on the paramilitary for handouts. The RSF's control has led to a catastrophic hunger crisis, with the army exacerbating it by restricting aid shipments, and civilians living in constant fear of violence and sexual assault.
