Sudan’s civil war has entered a new and dangerous phase. Paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have seized control of El-Fasher, the last Sudanese Army stronghold in Western Darfur. After 18 months of siege, the city has fallen, leaving hundreds of thousands trapped amid bombardment, starvation, and chaos. The RSF claims this victory marks a “turning point”. Meanwhile, UN officials warn of a “terrifying situation,” with thousands of civilians including children, facing immediate danger.
