August 23, 2025 (EL FASHER) – The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) kidnapped six displaced women and their children from the Abou Shouk camp in North Darfur, local sources said on Saturday, the latest in a series of rights abuses reported in the besieged city of El Fasher.

The paramilitary group has entered the camp, home to 190,000 internally displaced persons (IDPs), and committed abuses including killings and abductions, according to rights groups and witness accounts.

The women, aged 18 to 55, were taken along with their children, sources told Sudan Tribune, sparking fears they could be subjected to severe abuse.

The report follows a statement on Friday from the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights, which said the RSF had abducted at least 40 displaced people from the same camp on August 16. Their whereabouts remain unknown.
