More than 60,000 Run from Sudan's City Following Capture by Rapid Support Forces Paramilitary Group, United Nations Says
According to the UNHCR, in excess of 60,000 civilians have escaped the city in Sudan of el-Fasher, which was taken over by the militia Rapid Support Forces recently.
Accounts suggest mass executions and human rights violations as militia members entered the city after an extended blockade featuring food shortages and intense shelling.
The flow of those fleeing the violence towards the town of Tawila, approximately 80km (50 miles) to the west of el-Fasher, had accelerated in the last several days, according to United Nations refugee agency representative.
Survivors were telling shocking tales of violence, including rape, and the humanitarian group was finding it difficult to secure adequate shelter and nourishment for them.
Each child was suffering from malnutrition, she noted.
Calculations indicate that more than 150,000 people are currently unable to leave in el-Fasher, which had been the military's last stronghold in the western part of Darfur.
The RSF has rejected widespread allegations that the deaths in el-Fasher are driven by ethnicity and follow a pattern of the Arab paramilitaries targeting non-Arab communities.
Yet the RSF has detained one of its fighters, Abu Lulu, who has been accused of summary executions.
The force shared recordings showing the member's arrest following confirmation that he was involved in the death of several civilians in the vicinity of el-Fasher.
Digital platform has acknowledged that it has suspended the account linked to Lulu. Uncertainty exists whether he had managed the profile in his identity.
Sudan was thrown into a internal conflict in April 2023 following a brutal power struggle erupted between its army and the Rapid Support Forces.
It has resulted in a famine and accusations of mass killing in the Darfur area.
In excess of 150,000 persons have died in the war across the country, and about 12 million have abandoned their homes in what the UN has termed the most extensive humanitarian disaster.
The capture of el-Fasher solidifies the geographic split in the country, with the RSF now in control of western Sudan and much of adjacent Kordofan to the south, and the military occupying the main city, Khartoum, central and eastern regions along the Red Sea.
The two warring rivals had been allies - taking over together in a coup in 2021 - but disagreed over an globally supported plan to advance to civilian rule.
