Sudanese Civilians Escape RSF Attacks
“The citizens who were forcibly displaced from El-Fasher, Bara, and Al-Nahud did not go to Nyala or Al-Fula or to any area under militia control in Darfur's cities or West Kordofan,” Burhan remarked on the US social media platform X.
The Sudanese official emphasized that the displaced individuals “chose to walk thousands of kilometers to areas under state and government forces' control, where they find security and the essentials of life.”
Last month, the RSF took over El-Fasher, the capital of North Darfur, and carried out massacres, according to local and international groups, raising concerns that the offensive could solidify the country’s territorial division.
Data from the International Organization for Migration indicates that nearly 89,000 people were uprooted from El-Fasher and nearby regions in North Darfur last month, contributing to a total internal displacement surpassing 10 million across Sudan.
Within Sudan’s 18 states, the RSF now dominates all five in the Darfur region, except for certain northern sections of North Darfur that remain under army control.
Meanwhile, the Sudanese military retains authority over most of the other 13 states in the south, north, east, and central regions, including the capital, Khartoum.
Since April 15, 2023, Sudanese forces and the RSF have been engaged in an ongoing war that both regional and international mediation efforts have failed to resolve.
The fighting has claimed thousands of lives and forced millions to flee their homes.
