According to the mission, continued investigations documented additional evidence of mass killings, systematic sexual violence, enforced disappearances, torture and widespread detention carried out during and after the Rapid Support Forces’ capture of El Fasher in October 2025.
The mission said it interviewed 333 survivors, reviewed more than 50 public reports, authenticated 25 videos and held more than 45 meetings with civil society organizations, human rights defenders and experts.
Investigators concluded that the new evidence reaffirms their previous findings and recommendations while further strengthening the legal basis for concluding that the violence constituted indicators of genocide.
The report also notes that Sudanese authorities continued not to cooperate with the investigation despite repeated requests.
