Caution: This Report Contains Explicit Accounts of Shootings.
Combatants laugh as they move on the back of a utility vehicle, racing by a line of multiple corpses and driving in the direction of the sinking Sudan's evening sky.
"Observe all this accomplishment. Look at this genocide," one cheers.
The fighter smiles as he turns the video equipment on himself and his fellow militiamen, their paramilitary identification clearly shown: "These people are all going to perish in this manner."
The combatants are celebrating a atrocity that humanitarian officials fear resulted in the deaths of in excess of two thousand people in the African city of al-Fashir last month.
Following their control of the city under siege for nearly two years, from August the paramilitary force moved to strengthen its dominance and restrict the surviving civilian population.
Orbital photography demonstrate that forces began to build a massive earth barrier - a raised dirt embankment - around the boundaries of al-Fashir, sealing off roads and preventing humanitarian assistance.
During the encirclement worsened, 78 people were murdered in an militia attack on a place of worship on mid-September, while the UN stated fifty-three further were killed in unmanned aircraft and heavy weapon bombardments on a refugee settlement in the autumn.
In the early morning on October 26th the militia conquered the remaining army defenses and captured the central headquarters in the city, the headquarters of the Military Unit, as the government forces retreated.
One of the most horrific videos to surface and analysed revealed the consequences of a atrocity at a university building on the western of the urban area, where scores lifeless forms were seen spread over the floor.
A senior man dressed in a white tunic sat by himself amongst the corpses. He turned to look as a militiaman equipped with a rifle proceeded descending the stairs facing the individual. Raising his weapon, the shooter released a one round at the individual, who collapsed to the floor still.
"For what reason is this one still living," another militiaman shouted. "Execute this person."
Space-based imagery captured on late October appeared to substantiate that killings were also conducted on the roads of al-Fashir, according to a study published by the university analysis team.
A key observer who communicated stated he had seen "many of our kin getting executed - they were gathered in a specific area and each one killed."
Following the events that ensued from the atrocity, paramilitary commander acknowledged that his fighters had perpetrated "atrocities" and said the occurrences would be investigated.
Part of the detained was subsequent to a analysis recording his killings. Meticulously choreographed and edited video shared on the RSF's formal messaging account reveal the individual being led into a prison room at a detention facility on the outskirts of el-Fasher.
Meanwhile, the RSF and connected online channels commenced attempting to reshape the account.
Content showing its militiamen providing supplies to residents were shared by some users, while the militia's media office shared numerous recordings claiming to demonstrate the humane management of military detainees.
Despite the online effort being employed by the RSF, their activities in el-Fasher have generated international anger.
