Sudan: Following RSF attack on Zamzam, Amnesty International calls for investigation into war crimes
  • Amnesty International has called for an investigation into war crimes following a large-scale attack by Sudan's Rapid Support Forces (RSF) on the Zamzam refugee camp in North Darfur. The rights group alleges that during the April attack, the RSF deliberately killed civilians, took hostages, and destroyed essential facilities such as mosques, schools, and health clinics.
  • This development highlights the urgent need for accountability in Sudan, where the RSF's actions have exacerbated the humanitarian crisis and raised concerns about the protection of civilians amid ongoing conflict with the Sudanese army.
  • The situation in Sudan reflects a broader pattern of violence and instability, with reports of severe abuses by the RSF, including torture and rape, as well as the UN's characterization of the region as the 'epicentre of global suffering.' The international community continues to grapple with the challenges of establishing peace and protecting human rights in the face of escalating violence.
