Darfur’s El-Fasher Under Siege: Famine, foreign fighters, and failing state
[]
The North Africa Post
The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have surrounded El-Fasher, the military’s last stronghold in Darfur, choking off food, water, and medicine.
However, officials in Port Sudan continue to deny any famine, calling the reports politically motivated attempts to invite foreign intervention.
Meanwhile, the Sudanese army claims it killed several foreign fighters — allegedly Colombians and Ukrainians — fighting alongside RSF units in El-Fasher.
The claims remain unverified, and neither the RSF nor the foreign governments allegedly involved have responded publicly.
Rights groups warn that unless urgent action is taken, El-Fasher could become the epicenter of an even deadlier chapter in Sudan’s spiraling civil war.
