"In a statement, the RSF claimed it had "extended control over the city of el-Fasher from the grip of mercenaries and militias," referring to the Sudanese army. A video posted on social media by the RSF on Sunday also showed army vehicles retreating from the headquarters and its soldiers cheering in front of a sign marked "Sixth Division Infantry.""
"The army has yet to comment. If confirmed, the RSF's claim would represent a significant gain in Sudan's two-year conflict. War broke out in Sudan in 2023, when the Sudanese army and the RSF, once allies, turned on each other."
RSF seized the army headquarters in el-Fasher, the last major Darfur city not previously under RSF control. The RSF declared it had extended control over el-Fasher from the grip of mercenaries and militias, referring to the Sudanese army. A social media video posted by the RSF showed army vehicles retreating and soldiers cheering before a sign marked "Sixth Division Infantry." The army has not commented on the claim. Confirmation would mark a significant gain in the two-year conflict that began in 2023 when the Sudanese army and the RSF, once allies, turned on each other.
