Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces say they have seized the army’s 6th Division headquarters in besieged el-Fasher, marking a turning point in the civil war. BBC Verify authenticated videos showing RSF fighters inside the base. The army has not commented. Losing the site is a major blow as el-Fasher was the government’s last foothold in Darfur, where 300,000 civilians remain trapped amid bombardment, hunger and disease. UN investigators accuse the RSF of crimes against humanity, and the US alleges genocide. The conflict since 2023 has killed more than 150,000 and displaced about 12 million.
