More than 6,000 people were killed in just three days during an attack by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) on el-Fasher in Sudan's Darfur region in late October, according to the United Nations. The offensive, described as "shocking in its scale and brutality," included widespread atrocities that may constitute war crimes and crimes against humanity, the U.N. Human Rights Office reported.
The attack on el-Fasher, a city the RSF sought to capture, resulted in a massive loss of life. The UN's findings, reported by both NPR Politics and NPR News, highlight the severity of the violence. The details of the attack were not specified in the provided sources, but the scale of the casualties indicates a significant humanitarian crisis.
While the primary focus is on the events in Sudan, other news sources covered different global events. Source 4 from The Guardian reported on attacks in Nigeria where armed assailants killed at least 32 people. Source 5 from BBC Business highlighted the gender pay gap and its slow rate of closure.
The RSF, a Sudanese paramilitary group, has been involved in ongoing conflict in the region. The offensive on el-Fasher is part of a larger pattern of violence and instability. The UN Human Rights Office has not yet released further details.
