Sudanese paramilitary group arrests combatants over war crimes

Sudan’s paramilitary Rapid Support Forces announced the arrest of several of its own fighters suspected of involvement in mass atrocities, according to Maghrebi Week on November 3^rd.

The arrests come after RSF leader Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo (aka Hemedti) publicly apologised for his fighters’ criminal conduct in the recently captured city of El-Fasher. He urged them to refrain from attacking civilians who they have “no business with.”

Since El-Fasher’s fall to the RSF, it has witnessed mass atrocities on a scale so large that blood and piles of bodies are visible from satellite imagery.
