Good morning. The horrors that unfolded across social media over the past week have laid bare another devastating chapter in Sudan’s civil war.
The paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), which have been locked in a brutal conflict with the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) for more than two years, seized a key military base in the city of El Fasher over the weekend. After the capture, the RSF was accused of killing more than 2,000 unarmed civilians, with Yale University’s Humanitarian Research Lab calling the level of violence comparable to the first 24 hours of the Rwandan genocide.
