United Nations experts have accused Sudan's Rapid Support Forces (RSF) of committing ethnic killings and rapes in the country, actions that may constitute war crimes. The allegations come as the RSF, a paramilitary force, and its allied militias are reportedly fighting for power in Sudan, particularly in the western region of Darfur. These forces are said to have carried out widespread ethnic killings and rapes while taking control of much of Darfur. The UN's accusations highlight the severity of Sudan's ongoing conflict, which has been described as worsening, with the RSF also accused of courting regional leaders amidst the violence.
