Battle for El Fasher: Darfur’s Fate Hangs in the Balance

Battle for El Fasher: Darfur’s Fate Hangs in the Balance The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) are advancing on El Fasher, the last stronghold of the national army in Darfur. Despite resistance, rebels are gradually pushing into the city. El Fasher is a strategic hub. Its fall could trigger ethnic violence and a collapse of government presence in the region. RSF attacks come in waves with heavy shelling, causing high civilian casualties. Government lines are holding for now but slowly retreating. The fate of El Fasher may determine the future of western Sudan and regional stability along the Chad and CAR borders. #Sudan Source: Africa Intel
