Local sources said that Sudanese army warplanes bombed the positions of the RSF east of the city, while those militia bombed southwest of El Fasher with heavy artillery.
Since May 10, El Fasher has witnessed clashes between the army, supported by the Joint Force of Armed Struggle Movements, against the RSF, despite international warnings of battles in the city, which is the center of humanitarian operations for all states of Darfur.
The ongoing clashes in the city of El Fasher between the Sudanese army and the militia of the RSF led to the killing and injury of dozens of civilians, and the burning and destruction of their property, in addition to the displacement of hundreds of them to other cities.
Ethnic cleansing, horrible violence, torture, killings and a looming famine.
