The U.S. is collaborating with other nations to help end the conflict in Sudan, the White House stated on Tuesday, following reports of mass killings during the capture of a city by paramilitary forces last week.
The Rapid Support Forces' (RSF) takeover of Al-Fashir, the Sudanese army’s last stronghold in Darfur, marked a significant development in the country's civil war, granting the paramilitary group control over more than a quarter of Sudan's territory.
"The United States has been actively involved in efforts to bring about a peaceful resolution to the devastating conflict in Sudan," said White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt.
Prosecutors from the International Criminal Court announced on Monday that they are gathering evidence of alleged mass killings and rapes in Al-Fashir.
The UN's human rights office reported on Friday that hundreds of civilians and unarmed fighters may have been killed during the city's capture. Witnesses described RSF fighters separating men from women and children, followed by gunfire.
The RSF has denied harming civilians.
