As conflict between rival militaries rages on, millions of people keep on being displaced.

While the UN and its partners continue to provide assistance to newly displaced families in North Darfur, “nearly 60 per cent of displaced families still lack adequate shelter support,” said Deputy Spokesman for the Secretary-General, Farhan Haq, at a daily press briefing on Monday.

In Abu Shouk camp in the state capital, El Fasher, displaced families are facing acute shortages of food and medicine, with local sources reporting four hunger-related deaths last week, as food insecurity continues to worsen across the entire country.

In North Darfur state notably, low cereal supply, poor harvests and a prolonged food deficit have severely affected food availability.

Hundreds of thousands of civilians have died in the conflict.

The internationally recognised government of Sudan is the Transitional Sovereignty Council, which formed following the peace agreements of 2019.

The Rapid Support Forces, led by Hemedti, were not able to be integrated into the Sudanese Armed Forces, and in 2023 war broke out again.

The RSF is not particularly an ethnic based force, but Hemedti and the leadership derive from the “Janjaweed” forces that operate in Darfur (in the west of the country) and also in eastern Chad. They are primarily based on nomadic, Arabic-speaking camel-herding tribes. The Sudanese Armed Forces appear to be more “multi-ethnic”, including Arabs, Nubians, Bejas etc.

Earlier this year, actions of the RSF were declared to be genocide by the UN and US. The RSF is supported by Russia’s Wagner Group.

KHARTOUM, Oct. 27 (Xinhua) — Dozens of civilians have been killed in El Fasher in western Sudan’s Darfur region as the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) claimed to have seized the city, and the United Nations warned of a worsening humanitarian catastrophe.

The Sudan Doctors Network, a volunteer medical group, said the RSF carried out “ethnically based executions” and a “horrific massacre” in El Fasher, with early reports suggesting the death toll had reached dozens. The group accused RSF fighters of looting hospitals and pharmacies, leaving the sick and wounded without care.

Local activists said thousands of civilians trying to flee the city risked being killed or detained by RSF forces. The Coordination of Resistance Committees in El Fasher urged international intervention to create safe corridors for those trapped by the fighting.

The RSF on Sunday said it had taken full control of El Fasher, calling the city’s fall “a pivotal moment” due to its “symbolic, strategic, and military significance.”

El Fasher, the Sudanese army’s last stronghold in the vast Darfur region, has been under intense siege by the RSF since last year.

Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, chairman of Sudan’s Transitional Sovereign Council and commander of the Sudanese Armed Forces, said the Sudanese army has withdrawn from El Fasher. Meanwhile, Sudan’s Ministry of Culture, Information and Tourism condemned “massacres, killings, torture, looting, and robbery against unarmed civilians” by the RSF in El Fasher and the nearby town of Bara.

The United Nations and aid agencies voiced alarm at the deteriorating situation. The International Organization for Migration said it was tracking new waves of displacement from El Fasher as families fled with little access to food, water, or shelter.

Residents remain “trapped and terrified-shelled, starving, and without access to healthcare or safety,” the UN humanitarian office (OCHA) said, renewing calls for an immediate ceasefire “in El Fasher, in Darfur, and throughout Sudan.”

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Monday warned of a “terrible escalation” of violence, while OCHA head Tom Fletcher on Sunday urged warring parties to allow safe passage for civilians.

In Bara, in the neighbouring Kordofan region, the Sudan Doctors Network said the RSF executed at least 47 unarmed civilians, including nine women, accusing them of links to the army. The group also reported looting, kidnappings, and other abuses.

Sudan’s civil war, now in its third year, pits the Sudanese army against the RSF. The conflict has killed tens of thousands, displaced millions, and pushed much of the country to the brink of famine, despite repeated ceasefire calls from the United Nations and regional mediators. ■

I notice that Sudanese men do frequent our justice system.
Not surprising really considered the sort of trauma and learned responses they would have to violence.
I know some anti immigration people mention the Sudanese as trouble makers
