A new report from Human Rights Watch accuses the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces and allied Arab militias of executing dozens of people, and “the total destruction” of a town in Sudan’s West Darfur state
At least 28 ethnic Massalit were summarily executed, and dozens more civilians were killed and injured in the attack on Misterei, a town that is home to tens of thousands of mainly ethnic Massalit residents, according to the HRW report. The Massalit and other non-Arab communities are often targeted by Arab militias, supported by the RSF, the report said. “Many of these abuses committed in the context of the armed conflict in Sudan amount to war crimes,” HRW’s report said.
Since then, West Darfur has seen widespread violence and reports of atrocities committed by RSF fighters and their allied militias. In an unresolved conflict that started in the early 2000s, hundreds of thousands of people were killed in the ethnic cleansing campaign by the Janjaweed, an Arab militia, who are the precursor of the RSF.
