'Our Mission Involves Exclusively Eliminating' - How The Sudanese Vicious Militia Carried out a Mass Killing

Combatants smirk as they ride on the rear of a pick-up truck, speeding past a row of multiple lifeless forms and moving facing the sinking African evening sky.

"Observe all this accomplishment. See this genocide," a fighter shouts.

The fighter smiles as he points the video equipment on his own face and his associate militiamen, their Rapid Support Forces insignia visible: "The victims are all going to be killed this way."

The combatants are rejoicing over a atrocity that relief organizations suspect claimed the lives of over two thousand people in the Sudan's urban center of the Darfur city in recent weeks.

A City Severed from the Outside

After maintaining the city under encirclement for almost two years, from August the RSF advanced to consolidate its dominance and blockade the surviving inhabitants.

Orbital photography demonstrate that fighters commenced to build a enormous sand wall - a elevated earthen wall - surrounding the boundaries of el-Fasher, closing entry points and blocking humanitarian assistance.

While the blockade worsened, 78 people were slain in an militia assault on a mosque on mid-September, while the United Nations said fifty-three more were killed in unmanned aircraft and cannon bombardments on a refugee settlement in October.

Disturbing Footage Reveals Unarmed Civilians Executed

At dawn on October 26th the militia defeated the final army strongholds and seized the primary headquarters in the community, the main facility of the Military Unit, as the military withdrew.

One of the most horrific videos to appear and analysed depicted the consequences of a massacre at a educational facility on the west of the city, where dozens dead bodies were observed spread over the floor.

An older person wearing a robe remained isolated surrounded by the bodies. The individual turned to look as a militiaman carrying with a weapon walked descending the steps in the direction of the individual. lifting his firearm, the shooter fired a single shot at the individual, who dropped to the ground lifeless.

"Why is this individual still alive," a fighter shouted. "Shoot him."

Orbital photography recorded on 26 October appeared to verify that killings were also carried out on the roads of el-Fasher, according to a analysis issued by the academic research center.

A key observer who spoke reported he had seen "many of our family members being killed - they were gathered in one place and each one killed."

Militia Commanders Attempt to Implement Reputation Management

Following the events that followed the massacre, RSF chief admitted that his forces had carried out "wrongdoings" and stated the incidents would be examined.

Included among arrested was after a investigation recording his murders. Carefully staged and produced video shared on the militia's formal social media platform show the commander being escorted into a prison room at a detention facility on the outskirts of al-Fashir.

Meanwhile, the paramilitary force and connected online profiles started trying to reframe the narrative.

Updates presenting its fighters handing out aid to inhabitants were shared by various individuals, while the force's public relations unit published multiple clips purporting to demonstrate the proper handling of government captives.

In spite of the social media campaign being used by the RSF, their conduct in el-Fasher have generated worldwide outrage.
