A fighter accused of committing atrocities in Sudan, who was arrested last week by the Rapid Support Forces appears to have been freed from custody.
The RSF said they detained this man, known as “Abu Lulu”, on Thursday and transferred him to a prison in el-Fasher.
But since then, other videos have appeared online showing he’s been released.
Abu Lulu is accused of posting videos on social media showing executions.
What more do we know about the man known as Abu Lulu and more recently the “Butcher of el-Fasher”?
His real name is al-Fateh Abdullah Idris and he is a Brigadier General in the RSF.
He joined the Rapid Support Forces in 2013 after completing military training and has fought in Yemen several times.
He’s also led the Janjaweed militias in Darfur.
He is said to be close to Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, widely known as Hemedti, the Commander of the RSF.
Abdallah Hussain is a Sudanese journalist who’s been covering this conflict.
He says RSF fighters are using social media as a weapon of war to terrorise the Sudanese people.
