Sudan’s long-running Civil War reached a critical juncture with the confirmation that the military, led by Gen. Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, has withdrawn from El-Fasher, its final bastion in the vast western region of Darfur. The paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) declared full control of the city, marking a significant consolidation of their power across the region.

Gen. al-Burhan stated he approved the withdrawal to halt the “systematic destruction and killing of civilians,” acknowledging the intense pressure of the 18-month siege. The capture of El-Fasher gives the RSF command over all five state capitals in Darfur, cementing its parallel administration.
The United Nations has immediately raised alarm over the humanitarian fallout. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres expressed grave concern over the situation, condemning reported “violations of international humanitarian law” and the increasing scale of large-scale, ethnically motivated violations. With nearly 12 million people displaced since April 2023, the international community faces urgent calls for action and accountability to prevent further atrocities by the RSF and allied fighters.
