Per the United Nations refugee organization, more than 60,000 civilians have fled the Sudanese city of el-Fasher, which was taken over by the paramilitary RSF recently.

Accounts suggest mass executions and crimes against humanity as militia members entered the city following an 18-month encirclement characterized by famine and intense shelling.

The movement of those fleeing the violence towards the town of Tawila, roughly 80km (50 miles) to the west of el-Fasher, had accelerated in the last several days, as stated by United Nations refugee agency representative.

Survivors were describing terrible tales of atrocities, such as sexual violence, and the organization was having trouble to find adequate accommodation and nourishment for them.

Every child was experiencing undernourishment, she commented.

Estimates suggest that over 150,000 individuals are currently stranded in el-Fasher, which had been the military's last fortress in the western part of Darfur.

The Rapid Support Forces has denied extensive allegations that the deaths in el-Fasher are based on ethnic factors and resemble a pattern of the Arab fighters targeting non-Arab communities.

However the RSF has custodied one of its members, Abu Lulu, who has been accused of summary executions.

The organization released footage depicting the fighter's detention subsequent to verification that he was responsible for the execution of multiple civilians close to el-Fasher.

Digital platform has acknowledged that it has suspended the channel connected to Lulu. The status remains unclear whether he had managed the profile in his identity.

Sudan was thrown into a internal conflict in April 2023 following a brutal struggle for power broke out between its military and the Rapid Support Forces.

This has led to a famine and allegations of genocide in the western Sudan.

Over 150,000 persons have been killed in the war across the country, and approximately 12 million have left their dwellings in what the UN has described as the biggest global humanitarian emergency.

The seizure of el-Fasher strengthens the geographic split in the country, with the Rapid Support Forces now in control of Sudan's west and a large portion of bordering Kordofan to the south, and the army occupying the capital, Khartoum, central and eastern regions along the Red Sea.

The opposing sides had been collaborators - coming to power together in a coup in 2021 - but split over an internationally backed plan to move towards civilian leadership.
