Khartoum /Al Hamish’s Voice- Sunday, November 9, 2025
The Sudanese Doctors’ Network has accused the RSF of committing a new atrocity in the city of Al Fashir. According to the network, the RSF collected hundreds of bodies from the streets and neighborhoods of the city, burying some in mass graves and burning others entirely, in an attempt to conceal evidence of crimes committed against civilians over the past weeks.
In a statement issued today, the network said that what happened in Al Fashir “is not an isolated incident, but rather a new chapter in a fully-fledged act of genocide.” It added that these actions constitute a blatant violation of all religious and human values, as well as international norms that criminalize the mutilation of bodies and guarantee the dead the right to a dignified burial.
The network explained that the burning of bodies and the concealment of mass graves aim to erase evidence of war crimes and systematic violations against civilians, emphasizing that “these crimes will not be erased by cover-ups or burning and will remain a stain haunting their perpetrators.”
It called on the international community to take immediate and urgent action to launch an independent international investigation into what is happening in Al Fashir, stressing that “the situation in the city has gone beyond the bounds of a humanitarian disaster to a systematic genocide targeting human life and dignity,” amid a “shameful international silence amounting to complicity.”
The statement concluded by affirming that the responsibility for what is happening rests entirely with the RSF leadership, calling for these crimes to be documented and for those responsible to be held accountable under international humanitarian law.
The network’s statement comes days after a report issued by the Humanitarian Research Lab at Yale University, which, based on satellite imagery, revealed that RSF burned bodies near the Saudi Hospital and the Mellit entrance in Al Fashir, and blocked escape routes for civilians. The report described this as a systematic attempt to conceal the traces of massacres that the city has witnessed since late October.
These incidents are the latest in a series of widespread violations committed by the RSF in Darfur, which have been documented by international organizations including the United Nations and Amnesty International, and described as potentially amounting to war crimes and crimes against humanity.
