TL;DR Summary

Sudan's military leader, Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, has accused rival paramilitary force Rapid Support Forces (RSF) of committing war crimes as fighting continues in Sudan. The conflict, which began in April, has seen both sides accused of extensive war crimes, including deliberate killings of civilians and mass sexual assault. The RSF and its militia allies have been targeting African communities in Darfur, while the capital city of Khartoum has become an urban battlefield. The International Criminal Court is investigating alleged new war crimes and crimes against humanity in Darfur. Over 2.15 million people have fled Khartoum state, and the death toll is believed to be much higher than official figures suggest. Facebook's parent company, Meta, has suspended the RSF's account, citing violations of its dangerous organizations and individuals policy.
