Minni Arko Minawi, Governor of Darfur and leader of the Sudan Liberation Movement/Army (SLM/A), criticized the international community for failing to prevent the capture of El-Fasher by Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia on October 28, 2025. The RSF took control of the North Darfur provincial capital after an 18-month siege, leading to massacres against civilians. Minawi accused at least one foreign power of aiding the RSF with advanced resources and intelligence, including jamming satellite communications between El-Fasher's defenders and other command centers. He was appointed head of the Darfur regional government in August 2021 following his participation in Sudan’s 2019 peace process.
