Sudan: Conflict drives massive displacement from Al Fasher

The humanitarian landscape in Sudan continues to deteriorate,with fresh data revealing that more than 100,000 civilians have fled Al Fasher in the aftermath of the Rapid Support Forces’ capture of the city.

The International Organization for Migration reported on Monday,November 17,that over 100,500 people have dispersed across 23 localities in nine States,navigating perilous routes marked by acute insecurity.

The UN Refugee Agency,on its part,noted that new arrivals continue to stream into Al-Dabba by the hour,underscoring the relentless pace of displacement as families seek sanctuary from escalating violence.

Authorities have also confirmed more than 1,300 complaints filed by displaced civilians over alleged violations linked to RSF forces,prompting the Attorney General’s visit to camps in Al-Dabba to assess the gravity of abuses.

With the RSF now controlling all five states of Darfur and the army holding most of the remaining regions,Sudan’s conflict — which has claimed at least 40,000 lives and uprooted 12 million people — shows no sign of easing. Amid this profound upheaval,Al Fasher’s fall stands as another stark reminder of a nation struggling to hold its social fabric together.
