Over 60,000 Run from Sudanese City In the wake of Capture by Rapid Support Forces Militia, United Nations Reports

As stated by the United Nations refugee organization, in excess of 60,000 people have fled the city in Sudan of el-Fasher, which was captured by the militia Rapid Support Forces over the weekend.

There have been multiple executions and atrocities as militia members stormed the city after an year-and-a-half encirclement featuring starvation and intense shelling.

The exodus of those running from the fighting towards the community of Tawila, about 80km (50 miles) to the west of el-Fasher, had grown in the recent days, as stated by United Nations refugee agency spokesperson.

They were narrating shocking stories of abuses, including sexual violence, and the humanitarian group was finding it difficult to locate sufficient housing and supplies for them.

Every child was affected by nutritional deficiencies, she commented.

It is estimated that in excess of 150,000 individuals are presently stranded in el-Fasher, which had been the army's last stronghold in the western part of Darfur.

The RSF has rejected broad allegations that the executions in el-Fasher are driven by ethnicity and resemble a pattern of the Arab militia groups attacking non-Arab communities.

Nevertheless the RSF has detained one of its militiamen, Abu Lulu, who has been implicated in on-the-spot executions.

The group shared video showing the militiaman's apprehension following verification that he was responsible for the killing of numerous non-combatants near el-Fasher.

Video sharing service has verified that it has banned the profile connected to Lulu. It is not clear whether he had controlled the profile in his identity.

Sudan was entered a internal conflict in April 2023 following a brutal power struggle broke out between its army and the RSF.

This has caused a food crisis and claims of mass killing in the western Sudan.

More than 150,000 individuals have died in the fighting around the country, and approximately 12 million have abandoned their residences in what the United Nations has called the biggest global humanitarian crisis.

The takeover of el-Fasher solidifies the regional separation in the country, with the Rapid Support Forces now in dominance of Sudan's west and significant areas of adjacent Kordofan to the southern area, and the army holding the capital, Khartoum, central and eastern regions along the coastal region.

The two warring rivals had been partners - gaining control together in a takeover in 2021 - but fell out over an globally supported proposal to move towards civilian leadership.
