The fall of El Fasher and mass atrocities in Darfur

On 26 October 2025, the Rapid Support Forces captured the division of the 6th infantry division of the Sudanese Armed Forces, fully consolidating their control of El Fasher in the following days. Subsequently, reports of mass atrocities by the RSF against Zaghawa and other non-Arab people trapped inside El Fasher emerged.

I spoke to several media outlets about the fall-out and implications of these events.
