The International Criminal Court (ICC) believes war crimes and crimes against humanity are continuing to take place in Sudan’s vast western Darfur region where civil war has raged for more than two years,

Allegations of war crimes have persisted throughout the past two years, and in January 2025 the US determined that the RSF and allied militias had committed a genocide. The RSF has denied the claims, and said it was not involved in what it describes as a "tribal conflict" in Darfur.

The International Criminal Court has “reasonable grounds to believe” war crimes and crimes against humanity were committed, the court’s deputy prosecutor said.
