The Rapid Support Forces, Sudan's powerful paramilitary group, have a dark and well-documented history of human rights abuses that stretches back decades. Originally known as the Janjaweed, a notorious militia notorious for its brutal campaigns against civilians in Darfur, the group's violent tactics have continued to this day.
