EL-FASHER – A Rapid Support Forces (RSF) commander, identified as Al-Fateh Abdalla Idris and widely known by the nickname “Abu Lulu,” has been accused of leading mass killings and widespread destruction in the city of El-Fasher, North Darfur.
According to multiple reports from Sudanese and international media, Abu Lulu is believed to be responsible for dozens of massacres and the burning of entire civilian neighborhoods in the war-torn city, where thousands of residents have been trapped amid ongoing RSF offensives.
The accused commander, who hails from the Al-Rizeigat tribe — the same as RSF leader General Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, commonly known as Hemedti — has gained notoriety for boasting publicly about his actions. In a televised interview, he claimed to have killed 2,000 unarmed civilians in a single day, adding that he intended to kill another 2,000 to “complete his vow.”
International media outlets and human rights organizations have condemned the atrocities attributed to Abu Lulu, describing them as acts of “unimaginable cruelty” and “evidence of systematic war crimes.”
Videos and testimonies circulating online appear to show RSF fighters recording and celebrating attacks against civilians, including women and children — footage that has provoked outrage across the world.
Observers say Abu Lulu’s actions symbolize the broader brutality of Sudan’s civil war, which has displaced millions and caused catastrophic humanitarian suffering, particularly in Darfur.
As of now, the RSF has not commented on the accusations, while calls are growing for international accountability and justice for victims of atrocities in El-Fasher.
