More than 60,000 Flee Sudanese City After Seizure by Rapid Support Forces Militia, United Nations States
According to the UN refugee agency, in excess of 60,000 people have escaped the city in Sudan of el-Fasher, which was seized by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces over the weekend.
There have been summary killings and atrocities as RSF fighters stormed the city after an year-and-a-half blockade featuring starvation and sustained attacks.
The flow of those fleeing the fighting towards the town of Tawila, approximately 80km (50 miles) west of el-Fasher, had accelerated in the recent days, per United Nations refugee agency spokesperson.
They were narrating shocking tales of violence, including sexual violence, and the humanitarian group was struggling to secure adequate accommodation and food for them.
Every child was suffering from nutritional deficiencies, she added.
It is estimated that over 150,000 people are currently trapped in el-Fasher, which had been the army's final bastion in the western region of Darfur.
The Rapid Support Forces has rejected broad allegations that the killings in el-Fasher are ethnically motivated and mirror a pattern of the Arab paramilitaries focusing on non-Arab communities.
However the RSF has arrested one of its fighters, Abu Lulu, who has been charged with summary executions.
The force released video depicting the militiaman's arrest after confirmation that he was responsible for the death of numerous civilians close to el-Fasher.
Digital platform has acknowledged that it has suspended the profile linked to Lulu. The status remains unclear whether he had managed the account in his identity.
Sudan was entered a internal conflict in April 2023 when a intense struggle for power erupted between its army and the RSF.
This has caused a starvation emergency and allegations of mass killing in the western Sudan.
More than 150,000 persons have lost their lives in the fighting across the country, and about 12 million have abandoned their homes in what the United Nations has termed the most extensive humanitarian crisis.
The capture of el-Fasher solidifies the territorial division in the country, with the Rapid Support Forces now in command of the western region and much of bordering Kordofan to the southern area, and the army controlling the main city, Khartoum, the center and east along the coastal region.
The competing factions had been allies - taking over together in a seizure of power in 2021 - but fell out over an internationally backed plan to advance to civilian rule.
