Khartoum — The war in Sudan has taken on an ethnic dimension, especially in Darfur, where militiamen of the Rapid Support Forces are accused of killing civilians based on their ethnicity. The latest victims are nine people killed by the RSF because of their ethnicity while fleeing the ongoing conflict in El Fasher, the capital of North Darfur, to the city of Mellit.
The capture of El-Fasher would give the RSF the opportunity to attack regular army positions in northern Sudan and to supply itself via Libya with the help of Russian mercenaries. The local population, and in particular the Masalit, are accused of siding with the regular army against the predominantly Arab RSF.There was a problem processing your submission.

Some of the armed groups in the region joined forces to repel the attacks of Hemedti's fighters and formed the"Darfur Joint Force". Initially, it was a neutral alliance tasked with protecting el-Fasher.
