ICC chief prosecutor Karim Khan is urgently investigating allegations of war crimes and crimes against humanity in the Darfur city of al-Fashir.

Al Fashir has become a new front between the Sudanese army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF).

In a video statement released on Tuesday, prosecutor Karim Khan said the ICC has an active investigation into possible atrocity crimes being committed at present in Darfur.

“I am extremely concerned about allegations of widespread international crimes being committed in al-Fashir and its surrounding areas, as we speak,” Khan said, adding that his office was investigating those allegations “with urgency”.

He called for anyone with possible evidence, video or audio material to submit it to his office.
