United Nations investigation team: Sudan's Rapid Support Forces suspected of committing genocide crimes.

On February 19 local time, an independent investigation team authorized by the United Nations released a report stating that the Sudan Rapid Support Forces killed thousands of civilians during the takeover of the western Sudanese city of Fashir at the end of October 2025, and the related actions are suspected of constituting crimes against humanity. The report pointed out that evidence obtained by the investigation team showed that the Rapid Support Forces carried out systematic violence against civilians in Fashir based on factors such as ethnicity, gender, and political beliefs, including mass killings, sexual violence, and torture, with characteristics that met the core elements of genocide. The report emphasized that the violence in Fashir and its surrounding areas was not isolated acts of misconduct, but rather part of organized and planned actions.
