U.S. President Urges End To Fighting In Sudan's Darfur Region
U.S. President Joe Biden has called on the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) to pull back their troops from the city of El Fasher in North Darfur and facilitate "unhindered" humanitarian access. In a statement released by the White House, President Biden urged the RSF to stop their "disproportionate" assault on the city that is "harming civilians", while also calling on the SAF to halt the deaths and destruction caused by their "indiscriminate" bombings.
A recent report confirmed "unprecedented" fighting in the city, which is the capital of North Darfur. Authored by The Yale School of Public Health's Humanitarian Research Lab, the report reveals that scores of impacts, "likely related to high tempo aerial bombardment", have been observed through satellite imagery in eastern and southern El Fasher.
The findings confirm reports of army airstrikes targeting RSF positions in the east of the city. The RSF has reportedly captured most of Darfur, and the fighting has intensified over El Fasher, which is the only Darfuri regional capital not to have fallen to the RSF.
The war which began on April 15, 2023, between the SAF and RSF continues to escalate, while both sides are supplied weapons and ammunition by foreign powers, according to rights groups.
