Sudan's El Fasher is under threat as Rapid Support Forces attempt to seize control, leading to a humanitarian crisis. Discover the latest developments and the impact on civilians in Darfur.


Al Jazeera Net correspondent in Port Sudan, Al Nour Ahmed Al Nour, reported that the governor of the Darfur region, Arko Minawi, has accused the Rapid Support Forces of attempting to seize control of El Fasher, the capital of the region. This move is seen as a potential declaration of autonomy for the region, which could lead to further destabilization in Sudan. Minawi revealed that Abdel Rahim Dagalo, deputy commander of the Rapid Support Forces, is orchestrating attacks on El Fasher and is actively trying to recruit new forces to bolster their efforts. The situation remains dire as the Rapid Support Forces have already taken control of four out of five capitals in Darfur, leaving El Fasher as the last stronghold of the army. The governor emphasized that El Fasher will resist these efforts due to the collaboration between the army, armed movements, and local citizens who are determined to protect their land.

On the humanitarian front, the ongoing conflict has led to severe food shortages and civilian casualties. Recent attacks by the Rapid Support Forces have resulted in numerous deaths, including 42 civilians in the Galqani area and 9 in Al-Jazeera state. These violent acts have forced many residents to flee their homes. In response to the devastation caused by floods, Qatari relief efforts have begun, with two planes delivering essential supplies to those affected in northern Sudan. The Qatar Red Crescent has committed to continue providing aid as the situation unfolds.
