North Darfur

North Darfur is a province in Sudan, with its capital in el-Fasher. Recent news focuses on escalating violence and alleged war crimes committed by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) within the region. El-Fasher, in particular, has been a focal point, with reports detailing an RSF assault in October 2026 that forced the closure of the city's last functioning hospital and caused widespread panic. Furthermore, a Yale report alleges the RSF engaged in a systematic campaign to cover up evidence of mass killings in el-Fasher, including burying, burning, and removing human remains. Amnesty International has also called for a war crimes investigation into an RSF attack on the Zamzam refugee camp in North Darfur in April 2025, which displaced hundreds of thousands. These events highlight the ongoing conflict and humanitarian crisis in North Darfur, raising concerns about human rights abuses and the need for accountability.
