A Sudanese court has sentenced the leader of the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo to death for war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide over atrocities committed in the West Darfur region.
The court in Port Sudan, a city under the army’s rule, convicted Dagalo – known as Hemedti – in absentia, along with 15 other senior RSF members, who were given the same sentence.
The Sudan Founding Alliance, which includes the RSF, told the BBC it was “sham trial” that “does not even deserve a comment”.
The trial centred on alleged atrocities committed in the regional capital el-Geneina, including the June 2023 killing of the state governor, Khamis Abbakar.
