Thousands were killed and raped over the course of three days in October, after an 18-month siege by the RSF. They targeted non-Arab communities particularly the Four and Zaghawa groups.

The Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper said the findings were ‘horrific’ and called for a ceasefire in the war between the RSF and Sudan’s Armed Forces.

A warning, this report contains very distressing details.
