ICC Warns Sudan’s Paramilitary Forces May Commit War Crimes in Darfur

The International Criminal Court prosecutors are working to secure and gather evidence in Sudan’s Darfur region, focusing on alleged crimes in the city of El‑Fasher. They note that the reported atrocities could amount to war crimes and crimes against humanity. Testimony has come from witnesses describing RSF fighters conducting a brutal siege, attacking civilians, committing acts of sexual violence, and killing children. The court stresses that preserving this evidence is essential for future prosecutions and for documenting the severity of the alleged violations.
