Sudan: RSF-Aligned Govt Rejects UN Fact-Finding Report As Biased

What the report says

The Sudan Founding Alliance, also known as Tasees and aligned with the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, has rejected a UN fact-finding mission report on Sudan, saying it was biased and failed to reflect alleged abuses by the Sudanese Armed Forces. According to Dabanga, the statement was issued from areas including Nyala, El Gezira, Sennar, Singa and El Dinder, and was attributed to Tasees spokesperson Ahmed Tagad Lisan.

Tasees said the report, which was presented to the Human Rights Council on Monday, relied too heavily on remote testimony and did not include direct field inspections. The alliance argued that this weakened the mission’s findings and legal credibility. It also said the report overlooked allegations against SAF and allied militias, including claims of massacres, forced displacement, destruction of property and looting in several parts of Sudan, as well as accusations of chemical weapon use.

The group further objected to the report’s discussion of foreign involvement in the war, saying it focused on alleged support for RSF-linked forces from countries and territories such as the UAE, Chad, Libya and Puntland while ignoring what it described as external backing for the SAF. Tasees called for a new investigation under international supervision that would examine violations by all sides. The dispute highlights the continuing information war around Sudan’s conflict, where competing claims about responsibility and foreign support remain central to diplomatic and human rights debates.
