Published: 10/26/2025

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.
