The Governor of Darfur reported that at least 20 civilians were killed in an RSF attack in Al-Fashir, classifying it as a horrific massacre aimed at civilians. The Sudan Doctors Network confirmed 21 fatalities and 13 injuries, urging global intervention. Ongoing violence has led to significant humanitarian concerns, particularly in the Zamzam refugee camp, already facing famine.
The Governor of Darfur, Arcua Minnawi, reported that the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) paramilitary group conducted an attack in Al-Fashir, North Darfur State, resulting in the deaths of at least 20 civilians and injuries to others. He described this incident as a “horrific massacre” aimed at civilians, emphasizing the need for international intervention to protect them.
According to the Sudan Doctors Network, a local NGO, 21 civilians were killed and 13 injured in the RSF attack, reiterating the call for immediate global action to stop the violence in Sudan. This attack has intensified concerns regarding the humanitarian crisis in Darfur, particularly in the Zamzam refugee camp, which was also targeted by RSF artillery.
The Zamzam camp, home to a densely populated community, remains under scrutiny, especially after UNICEF declared a famine there in August. The United Nations and Doctors Without Borders condemned prior attacks in the region, highlighting the ongoing suffering in areas affected by violence.
Since May 10, Al-Fashir has faced continued conflict between the Sudanese army and RSF militia, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis in the city, which serves as a vital operational base for Darfur’s regions. Since April 2023, clashes between these factions have resulted in over 20,000 fatalities and displaced more than 14 million individuals, according to estimates from the United Nations and local authorities.
The ongoing violence in Sudan’s Darfur region, particularly the recent massacre by the RSF in Al-Fashir, underscores an urgent humanitarian crisis. The attack, which claimed at least 20 civilian lives, highlights the perilous situation for residents, exacerbated by clashes between the army and paramilitary groups. Calls for international intervention continue as the conflict has displaced millions and resulted in significant casualties since its onset.
