Rights Probe Reveals Horrific Abuse in Sudan’s ‘Slaughterhouses’
A high-level independent rights probe into the brutal war in Sudan has condemned the many grave crimes committed by all combatants, citing evidence indicating that civilians have been “deliberately targeted, displaced and starved”.
Chair of the Fact-Finding Mission on Sudan, Mohamed Chande Othman, has insisted that both the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia had carried out atrocity crimes. Survivors from RSF detention sites described the locations as “slaughterhouses”.
Investigators stopped short of labeling the atrocities genocide but said they amounted to crimes against humanity and extermination, warning that without accountability, such violations would persist.
