A criminal complaint has been filed in Nairobi, Kenya, seeking the prosecution of members of Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces (RSF) for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity, marking a significant attempt to use universal jurisdiction.

• The complaint, filed on behalf of twelve Sudanese victims by Legal Action Worldwide (LAW) and the African Centre for Justice and Peace Studies (ACJPS), alleges atrocities including detention, torture, sexual violence, and killings between April 2023 and March 2025.
• Key allegations include events in and around Khartoum, such as Soba Prison and the Al-Riyadh complex.
• The filing tests Kenya's legal framework and political will to pursue international criminal law for crimes committed outside its borders.
