BS Summary: This article contains 13 faulty reasoning types, including Framing Effect, Appeal to Emotion, and Availability Heuristic, with Negativity Bias as the most egregious example at 77.8% saturation with 98 hits. Analysis detected 497 faulty-reasoning hits from 126 analyzed words, generating a BS Score of 67.7% and a BS Rank of 76% (5,332 of 21,887 articles). This article is worse (more manipulative) than 75.60% of the article peer group.

The UN said actions carried out by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces in Sudan’s civil war amounted to a genocide, with experts warning of further mass atrocities. 
Human rights investigators said the RSF encircled El Fasher in an attempt to starve its population, while survivors described being raped in rooms where their recently killed family members lay on the ground. 
The report comes as the RSF lays siege to El Obeid, where analysts say similar barbarity is imminent. 
There is little sign of an end to the three-year conflict, which has killed tens of thousands and which some describe as the world’s forgotten war. 
“El Obeid must not become the next crime scene,” the UN said.
