The facts
A BBC investigation found evidence that Sudanese paramilitary fighters systematically destroyed el-Fasher's healthcare system during their siege and takeover of the city in Darfur. UN human rights chief Volker Türk stated these attacks on civilian infrastructure, including health facilities, are serious violations of international humanitarian law and may amount to war crimes. The RSF rejected the findings, calling them propaganda. The BBC documented at least 43 separate attacks on hospitals and healthcare sites between May 2024 and October 2025. Between April 2023 and October 2025, 120 medical workers were injured, 55 killed, and 10 abducted in the western city. Doctors reported believing RSF fighters deliberately targeted medical facilities, sometimes due to the presence of army or allied fighters among their patients.
Our take
So the Rapid Support Forces, Sudan's premier death squad, have decided that merely massacring civilians is for amateurs. Their new fucking performance art piece? The systematic destruction of an entire city's ability to treat the wounded. The BBC found these attackers hit hospitals and clinics at least 43 separate times. That’s not a military campaign; that’s a toddler having a tantrum and smashing every toy in the room, except the toys are incubators and operating theaters. Their strategy: if you can't win a fair fight, just make sure your enemy bleeds out. What tactical geniuses. They’ve turned 'shoot the medic' from a war crime into a mission statement. Doctors reported these attackers deliberately targeted medical facilities, sometimes because they thought there might be an injured soldier getting treatment. So their logic is to massacre every doctor, nurse, and patient on the off-chance one might be a combatant. That’s not a search-and-destroy mission; it’s burning down a library because you heard there’s one book inside you don’t like. The body count: 120 medical workers injured, 55 killed, 10 abducted. They weren't just trying to win a war; they were trying to build a monopoly on suffering. The UN human rights chief says this may be a war crime. You don't say. Systematically turning a healthcare system into a graveyard isn't a 'violation,' it's the whole atrocity buffet. And the RSF's response to this evidence? They called it 'propaganda.' Of course they did. The truth is just inconvenient fiction to a gang of grifting, murderous individuals whose brand is built on lying about the corpses they make.
