GENEVA (Reuters) -Women fleeing Sudan’s al-Fashir city report killings, systematic rape and the disappearance of their children following its capture by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), the U.N. agency for women said on Tuesday.

Al-Fashir’s fall on October 26 has cemented the RSF’s control of the Darfur region in its 2-1/2-year war with the Sudanese army. People fleeing the city have described civilians being shot in the streets and attacked in drone strikes.

Women escaping from al-Fashir say they have witnessed killings, rape and the disappearance of their children — “horrors that no one should ever endure,” the U.N. Women Regional Director for East and Southern Africa, Anna Mutavati, told reporters in Geneva via video link from Nairobi.
