RSF intensify shelling in El Fasher, civilians bear brunt of renewed clashes
|
[SUDANTRIBUNE] The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have ramped up their attacks on El Fasher, unleashing a relentless barrage of artillery and rockets on densely populated western and southern districts. This escalation has resulted in a mounting civilian corpse count.
For the past three days, El Fasher, the capital of North Darfur, has witnessed a dramatic rise in the intensity of festivities between the Sudan

ese Armed Forces (SAF) and allied armed movements on one side and the RSF on the other. The fierce fighting has caused numerous deaths and injuries among civilians caught in the crossfire.
Despite international and regional warnings urging the RSF to halt their assault on El Fasher, a city already reeling from war casualties, the paramilitary group persists in its offensive. This aggression appears to be part of a broader campaign to seize control of the entire Darfur region following their capture of the southern, central, eastern, and western Darfur states.

He identified al-Inqaz, al-Salam, al-Wahda, al-Hijra, Oulad al-Reef, and Makraka as some of the most heavily impacted neighbourhoods. These densely populated districts, both in the south and north of the city, have borne the brunt of the artillery bombardment. A single shell landing in Oulad al-Reef reportedly caused extensive damage to a house and injured at least six civilians.

residents from the eastern and northern neighbourhoods, particularly those in Abu Shouk camp, are fleeing in droves towards the city centre as fighting intensifies in those areas. The RSF appears to be attempting to push into the city centre, but the joint force comprised of armed movements and mobilized citizens continues to resist their advances.
