RSF atrocities in Khartoum
The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have been implicated in numerous atrocities in Khartoum since the outbreak of the Battle of Khartoum, which started on 15 April 2023 as part of the ongoing Sudanese civil war. These actions have drawn widespread condemnation and are under investigation for potential war crimes and crimes against humanity.
The RSF established makeshift detention centres in and around Khartoum, where civilians, mostly young men, were detained, tortured, and in many cases, executed. Also, multiple human rights organisations, including Amnesty International, have documented cases where women and girls were raped, gang-raped, and held in sexual slavery by RSF fighters.
