The International Criminal Court’s chief prosecutor told the U.N. Security Council on Monday “there are grounds to believe” both Sudan’s regular army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) are committing war crimes in Darfur at present.

ICC prosecutor Karim Khan launched an investigation in July last year into the surge of hostilities in Sudan’s Darfur region.

“It’s my clear finding, my clear assessment, that there are grounds to believe that presently Rome Statute crimes are being committed in Darfur by both the Sudanese armed forces and the Rapid Support Forces and affiliated groups,” Khan said.

“The alleged atrocities that have taken place in El Geneina form a central line of investigations that my office is pursuing at this current moment,” he told.

“We are collecting material, information and evidence that is relevant to those particular crimes.”
