2025-02-14 |
[SUDANTRIBUNE] The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) renewed its attack on the Zamzam camp for displaced persons in North Darfur state on Wednesday, as the governor of the Darfur region, Minni Arko Minawi, called on those able to bear arms to defend the displaced. The fighting has prompted a desperate plea from Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) for safe passage for civilians trapped in the crossfire. The RSF launched a Minawi, who oversees the joint force, said in a Facebook post: ''We call on all those who can bear arms to move to save our displaced people from the brutality of the terrorist RSF militia and to protect the land and honour.'' Minawi's call came as the RSF and Arab tribal militias launched a new attack on the Zamzam camp southwest of El Fasher for the second day in a row, leaving a large number of victims. Eyewitnesses in El Fasher told Sudan ![]() Tribune that they continued to hear the sounds of powerful explosions and fires in large parts of the Zamzam camp while thousands of displaced people continued to flee towards the city on foot in a difficult journey of displacement, some of them with gunshot wounds. The Coordination of Displaced Persons and Refugees in the Darfur region accused the RSF of committing a massacre in its attack, which it described as treacherous, on the Zamzam camp. The front man for the Coordination, Adam Regal, said that the streets of the camp had turned into death yards after being filled with blood and body parts while women and kiddies lived hours of terror, hunger and disappointment.
