- The siege and capture of El‑Fasher city in North Darfur, Sudan, has been reported to bear “hallmarks of genocide” following a United Nations‑mandated independent fact‑finding mission’s investigation.
- El‑Fasher was under an 18‑month siege by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) during the ongoing Sudanese civil war, and the city fell to the RSF in late October 2025.
- The UN report documented systematic ethnically targeted killings, sexual violence and destruction of civilian infrastructure during and after the siege.
- The RSF is accused of targeting non‑Arab ethnic groups such as the Zaghawa and Fur communities.
- Following the UN findings, the United States sanctioned three RSF commanders for their roles in atrocities linked to the siege and capture of El‑Fasher.
