In a landmark trial, paramilitary leaders from Sudan's Rapid Support Forces (RSF) are set to face justice in Port Sudan for their alleged roles in atrocities committed in West Darfur. The trial, which marks a significant step towards accountability, centres on allegations of war crimes, including mass killings, rape, and forced displacement of civilians. The RSF, a powerful paramilitary force, has been accused of perpetrating some of the worst human rights abuses in Sudan's long-running Darfur conflict. As the trial begins, hopes are high that it will bring closure to the victims and their families, and serve as a warning to those responsible for similar atrocities in the future.
