 RSF killed 300 women in first two days of Al Fasher capture: Sudanese minister


Sudanese Minister of State for Social Welfare, Salma Ishaq, has told Anadolu that the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) killed 300 women during the first two days after entering Al Fasher in the capital of North Darfur State in western Sudan.​​​​​​​


“The RSF killed 300 women during the first two days of their entry into Al Fasher,” Ishaq said on Saturday, adding that the women were “subjected to violence and torture.”


“Anyone leaving Al Fasher toward Tawila (in North Darfur) is at risk, as the Al Fasher–Tawila road has become a road of death,” Ishaq pointed out, Anadolu Agency reported.


She added: “There are still families in Al Fasher who are being subjected to dragging, torture, and humiliation.”


RSF leader acknowledges 'violations'


The minister stressed that “what happened in Al Fasher is a systematic act of ethnic cleansing, a major crime in which everyone is complicit through their silence.”


On October 26, the Rapid Support Forces seized control of Al Fasher and committed “massacres” against civilians, according to local and international organisations, amid warnings that the assault could entrench the geographical partition of Sudan.


On Wednesday, RSF leader Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo (Hemedti) admitted that “violations” had occurred by his forces in Al Fasher, claiming that investigation committees had been formed.


Since April 15, 2023, the Sudanese army and the RSF have been locked in a war that regional and international mediations have failed to end. The conflict has killed 20,000 victims and displaced more than 15 million as refugees and internally displaced persons, according to UN and local reports.
