Sudan's paramilitary forces announces full control of El Fasher city

Sudan's paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) on Sunday announced that they have taken full control of the city of El Fasher, the capital of North Darfur State in western Sudan.



"Today's victory represents a pivotal moment, given the symbolic, strategic, and military significance of El Fasher," the paramilitary group said in a statement released on the social media platform Telegram.



The Sudanese army has not issued any official comment on the developments, while reports from the ground indicate conflicting accounts of the situation in the city, which has been under siege since May 2024.
