Global Outrage Escalates Over RSF Siege in Sudan’s El-Fasher
(MENAFN) International condemnation and online solidarity are intensifying around El-Fasher, the capital of North Darfur in western Sudan, amid reports of atrocities by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
Slogans like “El-Fasher drenched in blood” and “Save El-Fasher” have dominated social media and news coverage across the Arab world, as public figures and rights groups call for an end to the RSF-led siege.
Sudan’s Transitional Sovereignty Council chairman Abdel Fattah al-Burhan confirmed Monday that army forces had pulled back from the city to prevent further “systematic destruction and killing” of civilians by the RSF.
The city, a key humanitarian hub for all five Darfur states, has been under siege by the rebel group since May 2024.
The Sudanese Foreign Ministry condemned “the horrific terrorist crimes committed by the RSF militia” in El-Fasher.
“The militia has carried out, and continues to carry out, acts of ethnically motivated killing and systematic terror against unarmed civilians, including women, children, and the elderly, in shocking scenes proudly and shamelessly documented by the perpetrators themselves, revealing their criminal nature that thrives on bloodshed and terrorism,” the ministry said.
It criticized the international community for its silence and inaction, accusing it of worsening the crisis despite repeated Sudanese appeals.
“The politicization of the Sudanese crisis and the bias of certain states in pursuit of their narrow political and economic interests – rather than adopting a moral and humanitarian stance – has directly contributed to the massacre in El-Fasher,” the ministry added.
