Rebel group claims capture of Sudan army headquarters in key city
The Sudanese paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have claimed the capture of the army headquarters in the besieged city of el-Fasher, a strategic move in the nation's civil war. The RSF fighters have surrounded el-Fasher for 18 months, leading to massive displacement and dire humanitarian conditions, with the group being accused of committing crimes against humanity. The loss of the army headquarters in el-Fasher is a significant blow to government forces, leaving the RSF effectively in control of the area.
