The capture of El-Fasher, North Darfur, by the United Arab Emirates (UAE)-backed Rapid Support Forces (RSF) on October 26, 2025, marks a catastrophic turning point in Sudan’s civil war and signals a chilling continuation of the region’s decades-long pattern of ethnic cleansing. With over 260,000 civilians trapped in the besieged city, the fall of the Sudanese Armed Forces’ (SAF) last major stronghold in Darfur has immediately led to horrifying reports of mass executions, widespread displacement, and the deepening of a humanitarian crisis already considered the world’s worst.

El-Fasher is more than just a capital city; it is the historic capital of the Darfur Sultanate and a critical gateway connecting Sudan to Central and West Africa.
