London\u2019s Metropolitan Police have received a 142-page dossier detailing alleged war crimes by Sudan\u2019s Rapid Support Forces (RSF), including killings, torture, and mass rape during the country\u2019s civil war, The Guardian reported. The evidence, compiled by international law experts, was handed to Scotland Yard\u2019s war crimes unit (SO15) for review before potential submission to the International Criminal Court (ICC).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The dossier accuses RSF leadership of “command responsibility”\u2014failing to prevent atrocities despite likely knowledge. Former ICC judge Sir Howard Morrison called the evidence “compelling,” while lead lawyer Lucia Brieskova emphasized its role in “fighting impunity” for Darfur\u2019s victims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The conflict, now in its third year, has killed over 150,000 people and displaced 12 million. Recent footage showed RSF troops executing 31 civilians, including children, in Omdurman. The ICC is also investigating UAE complicity in genocide for allegedly arming the RSF to target Darfur\u2019s Masalit community\u2014a claim the UAE dismisses as a “publicity stunt.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Both the RSF and Sudanese military face atrocity allegations, with US sanctions imposed on army leaders. The UN and rights groups corroborate widespread war crimes, underscoring urgent calls for accountability.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
