>>2700752Explained: Why a UN report found RSF committed genocide in Sudan’s el-FasherWeeks before el-Fasher was taken over, an RSF drone struck Al-Safiya Mosque in Daraja Oula during dawn prayers, killing around 70 people, including 11 children. Another mosque was attacked in Abu Shouk on 8 October.
The phrases heard by witnesses include: “Is there anyone Zaghawa among you? If we find Zaghawa, we will kill them all”; “We want to eliminate anything black from Darfur”; and “We will carry out extermination against you, an extermination like what we did to Masalit."
There were also killings at El-Saudi Hospital, where one survivor saw RSF troops killing patients. It is estimated that 460 patients and others were killed at the hospital. According to satellite imagery, their corpses were later burned.
On 27 October, a family of 13 was forced to walk to the university at gunpoint, passing corpses along the way. There they were confronted by Abu Lulu, who shouted “I will kill you like fat autumn locusts”. He began shooting at random, before stating: “I was planning to kill 2,000 people today, but I lost count, so I will start all over again.” He then resumed shooting.
Two survivors witnessed Abu Lulu asking a pregnant woman how far she was in her pregnancy. The woman said seven months, to which the commander fired seven bullets into her abdomen and killed her.
One survivor said she was abducted on her way to nearby Tawila after she said she was Zaghawa. RSF fighters tied her to a tree, left her naked and repeatedly raped her over six days. The report said it amounted to sexual slavery.
Survivors reported RSF fighters saying: “These are slaves. Kill them, destroy them, rape them”, “We are your only men, no other men” and “You must give birth to our children”.
One survivor described guards urinating on detainees, being burned with hot irons and being beaten with sticks, whips and pliers.
Survivors said that the scale of ransom was based on ethnicity, with Zaghawa being the most costly, followed by Fur and Masalit.
