UN probe says mass killings, rapes, abductions, starvation by Sudan force amount to genocide

Sudan's RSF forces carried out mass killings, abductions of women and girls, mass gang rapes and forced starvation in a city they besieged and captured last year, as part of an intentional policy amounting to genocide, a U.N. probe said on Wednesday, Reuters reported. 

The Rapid Support Forces, ​which are battling the Sudanese army in a civil war, committed the crimes in al-Fashir ​in north Darfur, which they captured last year after a long siege, the U.N. ⁠Fact-Finding Mission for Sudan found.
