The Sudan Doctors Network said what is happening in El Fasher amounts to a crime being committed before the world\u2019s eyes, stressing that global silence is \u201ccomplicity and partnership in the killing.\u201d<\/p>\n

The independent medical network described the situation in El Fasher, the capital of North Darfur, as \u201cnot just a humanitarian tragedy, but a full-fledged genocide carried out by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and their allies in cold blood.\u201d<\/p>\n

El Fasher, the largest city in Darfur, has faced escalating military assaults and a suffocating siege imposed by the RSF for nearly a year and a half, while international efforts have failed to secure a humanitarian truce to allow aid into the city, which serves as the main hub for relief operations in the region.<\/p>\n

Tasneem Al-Amin, the spokesperson for the Sudan Doctors Network, said in a statement on Thursday:
\n\u201cThe people of El Fasher die twice every day: once from RSF bullets on the city\u2019s outskirts, and once again from hunger and shelling inside the city.\u201d<\/p>\n

She added: \u201cThis is a crime being committed in full view of the world, and silence is complicity in murder.\u201d<\/p>\n

Al-Amin further stated: \u201cThe killing of women, children, and the elderly fleeing the RSF siege on the city\u2019s outskirts, left abandoned in the open until they perish, is a crime in every sense of the word.\u201d<\/p>\n

She stressed that El Fasher \u201cwill remain a true test for the international community and human conscience. Its people will continue resisting death with life, and this crime will forever remain a stain of shame on its perpetrators and on those who stood silent.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last Friday, the United Nations Fact-Finding Mission in Sudan accused both warring parties of committing war crimes, while stating that RSF forces, during the siege of El Fasher and surrounding areas, carried out countless crimes against humanity\u2014including killings, torture, enslavement, rape, sexual slavery, sexual violence, forced displacement, and persecution on ethnic, gender, and political grounds.<\/p>\n

The mission\u2019s report further noted that the RSF and its allies have used starvation as a weapon of war, depriving civilians of basic necessities for survival\u2014including food, medicine, and relief supplies\u2014amounting to a potential crime against humanity aimed at extermination.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
