RSF arrest draws skepticism amid El Fasher outrage

Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces say they arrested several fighters, showing commander Abu Lulu after outrage over killings in El Fasher. Activists called the move a PR stunt, with Sudanese amplifying hashtag You are all Abu Lulu. The UN rights office said hundreds of civilians and unarmed fighters may have been killed trying to flee, with witnesses reporting RSF rapes at gunpoint. MSF warned only a few thousand reached Tawila camp, far fewer than the 250,000 estimated in El Fasher last month, with all screened under fives malnourished and survivors describing torture, gunshots, escapes, and forced to eat animal feed.
