The ongoing civil war in Sudan has led to over 20,000 deaths and displaced around 15 million people. Recent artillery shelling in el-Fasher, North Darfur, carried out by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), has resulted in multiple civilian fatalities, including women and children. The Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) have reported a brutal power struggle with the RSF since April 2023. The AU has rejected any foreign interference amid claims of the RSF receiving weapons from the UAE, while the violence continues to worsen despite international warnings.
The latest attacks come as the African Union rejects any interference in the civil war, which has killed more than 20,000 people. The Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) have said the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) killed seven people in artillery shelling on el-Fasher, the capital of North Darfur state in western Sudan.
El-Fasher has witnessed intense fighting between SAF and RSF since May 2024, despite international warnings about the risks of violence in a city that serves as a key humanitarian hub for the five Darfur states.
Meanwhile, the African Union (AU) said on Monday it would not accept any interference in Sudan after the RSF was accused of receiving weapons from the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
More than 20,000 people have been killed and 15 million displaced in the brutal civil war now in its third year, according to UN and local figures. However, some United States-based researchers estimate the actual death toll to be as high as 130,000.
