Sudanese Military Defends El-Fasher From RSF Attack

Sudanese Armed Forces Successfully Defend El-Fasher Against RSF Assault In a recent military statement, Sudanese government forces reported repelling an attack by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) on El-Fasher, the capital of North Darfur. During the confrontation, RSF fighters sustained casualties and lost equipment, with the assault targeting the northeastern and southwestern districts of the city. The RSF has yet to comment on the incident. El-Fasher is a vital hub for humanitarian operations in Darfur but has faced ongoing RSF blockades and frequent clashes for over a year, despite international efforts to establish ceasefires and facilitate aid delivery. Since April 2023, Sudan's military and RSF have been embroiled in a civil conflict, causing thousands of fatalities and displacing millions, according to UN reports and local authorities.
