"What's so painful and difficult in this moment is that the past more than 24 hours have been so harrowing because we have so many people who are unaccounted for. I am recognizing family members, neighbors and friends in the videos that show the RSF gloating over the people that they have killed. So many are unaccounted for, and thousands upon thousands are - have been killed only in the first few hours of this incredibly violent escalation of the genocide."
"This is our Srebrenica moment. Just like the siege of Sarajevo, which was happening in the view of the entire world for four years before the world finally intervened, this is the moment where if no one intervenes, there will be no one left to save. Anyone who is met by the RSF - the RSF goes house to house. And anyone that they see, they kill - men, women and children."
More than 24 hours of violence in Al Fasher have produced harrowing scenes, with many people unaccounted for and survivors recognizing family members in videos. Videos show the RSF gloating over those they have killed. Thousands of people were killed within the first hours of the escalation. The U.S. has determined that the RSF is committing genocide in Darfur. The RSF conducts house-to-house attacks, killing men, women and children, hanging entire families from trees and leaving ditches of mass graves. Perpetrators livestream attacks and killings, amplifying the brutality and the urgency for immediate intervention.
