The situation in the historic capital of the Darfur region is escalating militarily after the RSF tightened its siege on the city from all directions, mobilising thousands of fighters planning to invade.
Local sources told Sudan
...a Moslem country located in the Horn of Africa. It is noted for its affinity for rule by ex- or current generals, its holy men, and for the oppression of the native Afro population by its Arab conquerors. South Sudan, populated mostly by the natives, split off from Sudan proper, which left North and South Darfur to be oppressed by the guys with turbans...Tribune that ''at least seven people were killed and about nine others injured in artillery shelling by the RSF on the livestock market south of El Fasher.''
The livestock market in the southern part of El Fasher, the main market for remaining civilians, has been repeatedly targeted by RSF artillery, resulting in dozens of civilian deaths and the destruction of numerous shops.
Military sources also said the army and allied armed movements repelled an RSF attack in the city's eastern part. They reported fierce battles between the two sides along the same axis, involving all types of weapons.
