The Rapid Support Forces, the paramilitary group that opposes the Sudanese army in Sudan’s civil war, launched an assault on the town of El Fasher, capital of North Darfur, on May 10. Hundreds of people have already been reported killed in the fighting, and our Observers fear exactions against non-Arab ethnic populations should the town fall into the hands of the RSF.
The fighting has claimed more than 450 lives since May 10, according to an assessment made by Médecins sans Frontières (MSF) on May 18. The NGO also stressed that the total number of victims was probably much higher.
The fighting has also displaced thousands of civilians who fled the fighting and are now living in difficult conditions in makeshift shelters inside the city.
Adam Moussa Obama is coordinator of Darfur Victims Support (DVS), an NGO founded to support victims of fighting and abuses in the Darfur region :
"The situation in El-Fasher is very difficult. Someone needs to intervene. Illnesses are spreading, and there are cases of malnutrition among the women and children.
There's a serious lack of water. Fuel trucks can't get through because of the siege by the RSF.
And the government's air force has been bombing water stations.
The air force regularly bombs the city of El-Fasher. Two days ago neighbourhoods in the east and north of the city were bombed.
Civilians are caught between the two sides. They risk being killed at any moment.
We call on the international community to protect the civilians."
If El-Fasher falls to the RSF, NGOs fear there may be the kind of ethnic massacres - Arab fighters slaughtering non-Arab locals - that happened in El-Geneina, the capital of West Darfur, in the summer of 2023. The United Nations estimates 15,000 people were killed.

1) It’s Africa.
2) It’s Arab Muslims against Black Muslims
3) The Arabs are slaughtering the Blacks.
4) Just like in Chicago, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Detroit, New York City where the Blacks kill everyone.
5) Not a peep from the UN or the USA.
Yawn. Just another day in the Dark Continent (or ghetto cities in America).
Muslims are on the move.
“NGOs fear there may be the kind of ethnic massacres that happened in El-Geneina”
“NGOs”, well at least we know what started this civil war.
Jews and white supremacists at it again.
