RSF Claims Capture of El-Fasher, Potentially Splitting Sudan
The RSF, a paramilitary group in Sudan, says they've taken control of El-Fasher, a city in the Darfur region.
This could split the country in two, with the RSF controlling the west and the army the east.
The war started in 2023 and has caused a huge humanitarian crisis, with many deaths and people forced to leave their homes.
El-Fasher has been under siege, and people are facing famine.
There are worries about further violence and ethnic cleansing, as the RSF is accused of past atrocities.
The conflict has also triggered concerns of further atrocities and displacement.
RSF claims to have captured El-Fasher, a key city in Darfur.
The capture would give RSF control over Darfur, potentially splitting Sudan.
El-Fasher was the last major holdout for the Sudanese military in Darfur.
The ongoing Sudanese civil war has created a major humanitarian crisis.
Fears of massacres and ethnic cleansing are arising from the RSF victory.
