Amnesty blasts RSF over Darfur attack, arms deals under fire

Amnesty International wants investigators to look into what the RSF paramilitary group did at a displacement camp called Zamzam in North Darfur. The fighters rolled up with heavy weapons and started blasting at people hiding in homes, a hospital, and even a mosque. They trashed markets, schools, and medical facilities while pushing out around 400,000 refugees who had to bounce from the area. The human rights org says this whole thing could qualify as legit war crimes under international rules.

The group's boss, Agnès Callamard, pointed out that stopping the RSF means cutting off their gun supply, and she wants the arms embargo expanded across all of Sudan. The attack was part of a bigger push to take over El Fasher, which is the main city in that region. The ICC already flagged concerns about mass killings and sexual violence happening there, and the UN sent a fact-finding team to dig into the accusations.
