An eyewitness who provided testimony said the individual had seen "numerous of our kin getting killed - they were assembled in one place and all killed."

Updates presenting its fighters providing supplies to inhabitants were disseminated by various individuals, while the force's media office released numerous clips allegedly to show the humane treatment of military detainees.

In spite of the online effort being deployed by the RSF, their activities in the city have provoked international outrage.
