Fighting has intensified in Sudan’s besieged city of el-Fasher in North Darfur, as the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) paramilitary group claimed it had captured a government-aligned Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) base seen as their last stronghold in the western region.
The takeover of the base, which is known as the Six Infantry Division belonging to the Sudanese army, came after days of heavy fighting
The paramilitary group has laid siege to Al Fasher for more than 17 months, blocking the entry of food and humanitarian aid.
Al Jazeera’s Hiba Morgan reports from the capital Khartoum.
Justin Lynch is the Managing Director of Conflict Insights Group, and co-author of ‘Sudan’s Unfinished Democracy’.
He says that the RSF wants to represent Darfur in talks in Washington.
