Never forget: It's been a year since the Al Pasher massacre in Sudan's Darfur region, one of the deadliest episodes of ethnically targeted violence in decades, which UN investigators say had "the hallmarks of genocide. “Between October 26 and November 4, 2025, the UAE-backed Rapid Support Force (RSF) carried out unprecedented killings after capturing al-Fasher, the last major stronghold of the Sudanese army in Darfur. The violence was mainly aimed at non-Arab communities, including Farwa, Zaghawa and Barti, alongside captured soldiers and other civilians. Tens of thousands of people are estimated to have been killed, although the full death toll is still unclear. Civilians were executed, burned and tortured, in the streets, in hospitals and while trying to escape. RSF commanders and fighters proudly filmed themselves committing terrible atrocities. One example is the genocidal RSF commander Abu Lulu, who has appeared in several videos where he is seen executing civilians en masse while celebrating it. Following the controversy, the disgraced UAE-backed RSF militia released a video showing Abu Lulu being arrested and jailed before being seen again on the battlefield and remains active to this day. Yale University's Humanitarian Research Laboratory estimated that the city's remaining 250,000 civilians were killed, displaced, died of other causes, or remained in hiding. A UN fact-finding mission later concluded that the atrocities bore "the hallmarks of genocide. "Despite the extent of the atrocities, the massacre received relatively limited attention in the Western media.
