There is growing international concern as more reports emerge of atrocities committed against non-Arab ethnic groups in al-Fashir, the capital of Sudan’s Darfur region.
The city was captured by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) on Sunday after an 18-month siege marked by bombardments and famine.
It was the last of Darfur’s five state capitals to fall to the paramilitary group, led by General Mohammad Hamdan Daglo, that has been at war with the army for more than two years.
Local rights groups and aid organisations said the RSF has detained over 1,000 civilians and killed dozens. Graphic videos on social media show mass arrests and gruesome killings as people attempt to flee the city on foot.
