Paramilitary forces in Sudan committed crimes against humanity, say UN experts
CRIMES against humanity were carried out by paramilitary forces and their allied militia in western Darfur, according to a damning new report by United Nations experts.
The report to the UN security council paints a horrifying picture of the brutality of the Arab-dominated Rapid Support Forces (RSF) against Africans in Darfur.
It also details how the RSF succeeded in gaining control of four out of Darfur’s five states, including through complex financial networks that involve dozens of companies.
