After a landslide election victory, Japan's lower house reappointed Sanae Takaichi as Prime Minister. She is the first woman to hold the post in Japan. Separately, the UN fact-finding mission reported that the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces' 18-month siege and capture of El-Fasher in Sudan's North Darfur showed hallmarks of genocide, prompting US sanctions on three RSF commanders. The RSF is accused of targeting non-Arab groups such as the Zaghawa and Fur.
