Sudan's RSF said on Sunday it had taken full control of El-Fasher, the last major urban centre in western Darfur still outside its hands.

The RSF had besieged the city, capital of North Darfur state, for the past 18 months as it fights the army and allied former rebels and local fighters.

It has targeted civilians in frequent drone and artillery strikes, while the siege has led to starvation among the 250,000 people who remain in the city's west.

In a statement, the RSF claimed it had "extended control over the city of El-Fasher from the grip of mercenaries and militias", referring to the Sudanese army, which it has been fighting since April 2023.

If we put them all on our magical whitey soil they will be peace loving productive tax payers.
At least that’s what I read.
