#Sudan @amnesty is confirming they have new evidence, including satellite imagery, showing that Sudanese government forces, including the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) & allied militias, have continued to commit war crimes and other serious human rights violations in #Darfur
As part of the mandated of reconfiguration of #UNAMID, the mission has begun to withdraw from various bases in #Darfur. These bases have been converted in #RSF bases, in violation of commitments made by #Khartoum and in violation as well of international law.
About #UNAMID drawdown:
In 2017 and 2018, UN has decided to reduce the number of UN troops, close the majority of its bases, and reconfigure the remainder of the mission to focus on the protection of civilians in the #Jebel_Marra region of #Darfur

At the end of June, there will be a vote to withdraw all the remaining peacekeepers from Darfur by 2020. If the @UNSC_Reports & the @AU_PSD Council authorize #UNAMID’s closure, it would effectively give the #RSF control over civilian areas
