The International Criminal Court reports having concrete evidence linking Rapid Support Forces leaders to war crimes and crimes against humanity in Darfur, including massacres in el-Fasher and el-Geneina. The investigation, involving testimony and forensic material, marks significant progress though no timeline for charges was given. Tens of thousands of civilians fled violence described by the UN as bearing signs of genocide, with the RSF denying widespread or ethnically motivated killings. The ICC continues long‑running investigations into atrocities in Darfur, previously leading to arrests and convictions, including charges against former president Omar al‑Bashir and a recent 20‑year sentence for militia leader Ali Muhammad Ali Abd‑Al‑Rahman.
