Fears Grow of Mass Killings in Sudan City Now Held by RSF Militia
The city of El Fasher in Sudan’s Darfur region has fallen to the Rapid Support Forces. The RSF militia took control after a long siege. Sudan’s army pulled back from its last base in the area.
Thousands of people remain stuck inside the city. Many fear attacks and killings. The UN warns of possible atrocities by the RSF group.
The battle lasted over 500 days. It marks a big shift in Sudan’s civil war. The war has already killed tens of thousands.
Residents report heavy fighting and chaos. Some fled as the RSF moved in. Others hide in homes or camps.
The RSF has a past linked to violence in Darfur. Past reports tie them to ethnic attacks. This raises alarms for non-Arab groups in El Fasher.
Aid groups say the city faces hunger and disease. Access for help is blocked. The UN calls for safe aid routes.
Sudan’s leaders admit the retreat. Army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan confirmed it. He vows to fight on elsewhere.
World leaders watch closely. They urge protection for civilians. The fall could spark more unrest in Darfur.
This comes amid Sudan’s wider conflict. It started in 2023 between army and RSF. Millions have been displaced.
