Barrier being built around besieged Sudan city, satellite images show
Published: 8/30/2025

Satellite images reveal the construction of an extensive earthen wall around the besieged Sudanese city of el-Fasher, trapping civilians inside. The wall, spanning over 31km, is allegedly being built by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces to deepen siege conditions. With civilians enduring constant bombardment and humanitarian organizations unable to access the city, observers warn of potential partitioning of the country with el-Fasher's fall to the RSF.
