RSF drone strike kills dozens in Sudan's war-ravaged el-Fasher: Activists
RSF drone strike kills dozens in Sudan's war-ravaged el-Fasher: Activists A deadly drone strike at a displacement centre and university grounds, where people had been seeking refuge, in the besieged Sudanese city of el-Fasher in North Darfur state has been blamed on the Rapid Support Forces RSF), with the brutal civil war now in its third year. A local journalist told the Reuters news agency on Saturday that at least 12 people had been killed in the strike on a displacement shelter, while local activists said nearly 60 people were killed. The el-Fasher Resistance Committee said the RSF had carried out a "massacre." El-Fasher is the last major city held by the government-aligned Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) in the vast western Darfur region, and has faced intensified attacks from the paramilitary RSF since the army recaptured the capital, Khartoum, in March this year. The RSF has been fighting SAF for control of the country since April 2023, after the two generals leading the forces fell out.
