The Sudanese army reported yesterday, Saturday, that it was able to force the Rapid Support Forces to withdraw from the eastern borders of the city of El Fasher, the capital of North Darfur state, after fierce battles.
The Sudanese army confirmed in a statement that it had regained positions controlled by the Rapid Support Forces after violent clashes.
As the governor-designate of North Darfur, Hafez Bakhit, confirmed in previous statements the state government’s full support for the Sudanese army in confronting the Rapid Support Forces, indicating the government’s commitment to protecting citizens and defeating the “militias.”
In a related context, the Director General of the Ministry of Health in North Darfur State, Ibrahim Khater, explained that the violent bombing of El Fasher State resulted in the killing of 32 people and the injury of 110 others, most of whom were women, children and the elderly.
For his part, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, Filippo Grandi, expressed his concern about the reports coming from El Fasher, which describe the attacks on civilians and ethnic targeting as “horrific.”
Grande called for an immediate cessation of violence and shooting and wrote on the “X” platform that the situation in El Fasher arouses fear among civilians to the point that it prevents them from trying to flee.
The battles in El Fasher led to the displacement of tens of thousands who fled their homes. According to international statistics, two weeks of battles led to the death of about 1,000 people, and the last hours witnessed the killing of dozens and the wounding of more than 100 civilians.
