Darfur Regional Governor Demands Civilian Protection as Rebel RSF Group Claims Control of Key City

Mini Arko Minawi has called for the "disclosure of the fate of the displaced" in El Fasher following claims by the rebel paramilitary Rapid Support Forces that they have seized the city.

"We demand […] an independent investigation into the violations and massacres carried out by the militia away from public view," Minawi said in a statement.

The appeal comes as the UN and local groups report thousands of civilians remain trapped in the famine-stricken city.

El Fasher, the army's last stronghold in Darfur, had been under RSF siege since May 2024 amid the ongoing conflict.
