Rebel group claims capture of Sudan army headquarters in key city
AI Summary
The Sudanese paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) claims to have captured the army headquarters in el-Fasher, a key city in Darfur, marking a significant turn in the ongoing civil war. The RSF says it destroyed military vehicles and seized equipment at the 6th Division Headquarters. This capture leaves the RSF effectively in control of the area as el-Fasher was the last remaining foothold for government forces in Darfur. The siege has trapped around 300,000 people, leading to widespread hunger and disease. Sudan's conflict began in 2023 after a power struggle between top commanders of the RSF and the army. Over 150,000 have died, and about 12 million have been displaced since then.
