Summary:

Following the Rapid Support Forces’ (RSF) capture of El-Fasher in Darfur, Sudan, reports of atrocities against civilians are emerging, but only a small fraction of the expected tens of thousands of displaced persons have reached a nearby camp. Survivors recount horrific experiences of violence and hardship during their escape.

Thousands Feared Trapped in Darfur After RSF Seizure as Atrocities Emerge

Cairo, November 3, 2025 (The Hindu e-Paper) – Fears are mounting for the safety of tens of thousands of Sudanese civilians trapped in and around El-Fasher, Darfur, after the city fell to the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) last week. Despite reports of widespread atrocities, including killings, beatings, and sexual assaults, only a few thousand have managed to reach the nearest displacement camp.

Aid organizations report that less than 6,000 people have arrived at the Tawila camp, located 65 kilometers from El-Fasher, despite UN estimates suggesting tens of thousands fled the city. “The numbers are still very few. We are not seeing the hundreds of thousands that we were expecting,” said Shashwat Saraf, Sudan director for the Norwegian Refugee Council. “If people are still in El-Fasher, it will be very difficult for them to survive.”

Survivors arriving at the camp recount harrowing journeys, dodging gunfire and enduring extreme hardship. Many are disoriented, dehydrated, and traumatized. Reports indicate that approximately 170 unaccompanied children, some as young as three, have arrived at the camp, separated from their families.

The Sudanese government is condemning the RSF’s actions as war crimes. Imadeldin Mustafa Adawi, Sudan’s ambassador in Cairo, has called for the international community to designate the RSF as a terrorist organization and accused the United Arab Emirates (UAE) of arming the group.

The UAE, which has been accused of supporting the RSF, defended its actions in Bahrain, stating that the international community erred in supporting both the military leader, Gen. Abdel-Fattah Burhan, and his rival, RSF commander Gen. Mohammed Hamdan Dagalo when the Army ousted a Western-backed power-sharing government in 2021. However, they support the humanitarian ceasefire.

Concerns are growing that the RSF may be emboldened by its control of the Darfur region and could expand its military operations. Recent attacks in the Kordofan region, including incidents targeting displacement camps, have already resulted in multiple casualties, including children.

The conflict between the RSF and the Sudanese Army, which began in April 2023, has resulted in over 40,000 deaths and displaced more than 14 million people, according to UN figures.
