Al Jazeera · Qatar · Amnesty documents RSF crimes against humanity and ethnic cleansing in El Fasher
Al Jazeera's Arabic coverage reaches audiences across the Arab world where Sudan coverage is filtered through Gulf diplomatic alignments; the outlet notes that UAE support for the RSF (acknowledged in prior investigations) is conspicuously absent from explicit Amnesty condemnation, and highlights the role of IGAD and the African Union in the mediation failure that allowed the siege of El Fasher to continue. It cites the report's launch in Nairobi as significant given that Kenya chairs the IGAD process.
