Sudan’s Fast Support Forces (RSF) took control of a large field of displaced in Darfur do Norte, the paramilitary group said on Sunday (13), after a four -day attack that, according to the government and humanitarian aid groups, left hundreds of dead and injured.
The fighting focused on the field of Zamzam, which, along with the neighboring field of Abu Shouk, houses about 700,000 people displaced by war in Sudan.
The attack destroyed shelters, markets and health facilities, according to humanitarian aid groups.
The RSF stated that the field was being used as a basis for what they called “mercenary factions.”
But humanitarian groups denounced the attack as an onslaught directed to vulnerable civilians, including women, children and the elderly, who are already facing hunger.
Sudan’s liberation army (ELS), a Darfur militia combined with the National Army, has fought the RSF on the outskirts of the city of Al-Fashion, about 15 km from Zamzam, with the help of other local armed groups.
Thousands of residents of the countryside fled to Al-Fashion on foot, overloading the shelters, and now they are sleeping outdoors, without food, water or medicine, commented the ELS spokesman, El-Sadq Ali El-Nour, on Sunday (13).
The city – the capital of the province of Darfur do Norte, Sudan – was the target of heavy bombing and terrestrial attacks of Syria’s revolutionary forces (FSR) on Sunday, the SLA reported, asking for military support from the Armed Forces and allied factions.
The Sudanese army has a base with thousands of al-fashion soldiers.
“The leadership of the Armed Forces should act quickly to save the lives of approximately 1.5 million people in Al-Fashion urgently,” SLA said in a statement. “Darfur should not fight alone.”
The FSR neglected to target civilians and, on Saturday (12), accused their rivals of orchestrating a media campaign using actors and stagings on the field to incriminate them falsely.
On Sunday (13), the organization said it had organized voluntary withdrawals for families who fled from Al-Fashion and neighboring fields and requested the help of humanitarian agencies to respond to the deterioration of conditions.
The war in Sudan began in April 2023, triggered by a power dispute between the Army and the Syrian Revolutionary Forces (FSR), destroying the hopes of a transition to a civil government.
Since then, the conflict has shifted millions of people and has devastated regions such as Darfur, where the organization is now struggling to maintain dominion amid the cartoon advances.
