Sudan: North Darfur Capital Falls to RSF

The capital of North Darfur, El Fasher, has fallen to the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), according to Lt Gen Abdelfattah El Burhan, Head of the Sovereignty Council and Commander-in-Chief of the SAF.

El Burhan confirmed the fall of El Fasher amid reports of mass killings, displacement, and widespread abuses. In a televised address, he admitted that SAF units had withdrawn from El Fasher "to a safe location" after the RSF overran the Sixth Infantry Division's base.

"Everyone is following what happened in El Fasher,"
El Burhan said.

The UN has warned of "atrocities and mass displacement" in the region.
