The RSF, however, denied the reports, asserting that El Fasher was "devoid of civilians" and accusing the city’s defenders of repurposing civilian buildings for military use to "export false accusations claiming that our forces target civilian sites."

In a recent report, the U.N. Development Programme stated that the siege had "collapsed" the city’s markets as well as food availability and affordability, with no road access for aid, reducing the population to survive on animal feed and food waste.

Since the beginning of this conflict, the Daglo militia has engineered a genocide in Darfur, with the attack on El Fasher the latest in a long line of atrocities. The international community, however, has remained silent for too long in the face of these crimes. The U.N., therefore, must take action to stop supplies to these war criminals to prevent their program of ethnic cleansing.

In this war of atrocities, the SAF and the RSF are as guilty as the other. The U.N. has found considerable evidence that both sides in this conflict have committed a litany of war crimes, ranging from civilian massacres to rape and slavery. The international community must impose sanctions to hold those responsible for these crimes accountable for their actions.

Who will win the civil war in Sudan?

The recent accusations against the RSF are false and fabricated, since El Fasher is devoid of any substantial civilian population. Instead, the Port Sudan authority and its lackeys in the city have used civilian sites as a shield, only to shout murder when targeted. These claims are ironic given the heinous human rights record of the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF).
