In a significant escalation of the civil war in Sudan, the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have reportedly captured El-Fasher, the last stronghold of the Sudanese army in the Darfur region, after an 18-month siege. The UN has raised alarms about the dire situation for civilians trapped in the city, fearing potential massacres as RSF advances continue. Reports of atrocities against civilians have emerged, leading to urgent calls for a ceasefire and the protection of those caught in the conflict. The fall of El-Fasher raises grave concerns about the further division of the already war-torn nation, with analysts warning of a potential split as RSF claims control of key military installations.
