Sudan's brutal two-year war has entered a new phase. The paramilitary Rapid Support Forces has seized control of the entire Darfur region, ousting the Sudanese army from its last stronghold.
Sudan's RSF paramilitary forces reportedly launch an attack on the army's last stronghold in Darfur, where tens of thousands of civilians are trapped.
More than 1,850 civilians have been killed in Sudan’s North Darfur since January, including at least 1,350 in the city of El Fasher, the United Nations reported Monday, warning that the true toll is likely higher due to restricted access and limited communications amid the ongoing civil war.
The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said the world body and its Sudan aid partners issued a statement condemning in the strongest terms reported attacks by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) against civilians, civilian infrastructure and humanitarian workers in El Fasher, the capital of North Darfur state.
