The moment the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) announced it had stormed the city of el-Fasher on Sunday morning, it was clear that 260,000 Sudanese trapped in the city were in serious and immediate danger.

Middle East Eye has reviewed dozens of video clips and images allegedly taken in el-Fasher since the RSF assault began.

Some were published by the RSF itself; others emerged on social media, particularly Sudanese Telegram groups.

RSF members filmed themselves with people they have captured fleeing. In one clip, scores of men are seen sat on the ground surrounded by fighters, who repeatedly call them “slaves”.

In another, fighters tell six detained men, who are in civilian clothes but identify themselves as soldiers, that they can flee. Once the men begin running, the gunmen open fire on them, downing at least three.

This is one of the few reasons I wish there were gods. Humans are monsters and we need intervention. So easily and callously is human life destroyed.

How I wish the Sudanese, and so many other people in similar plights, mattered to the rest of the world.
