As stated by the UN refugee agency, in excess of 60,000 individuals have escaped the city in Sudan of el-Fasher, which was taken over by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces recently.

Reports indicate multiple executions and atrocities as paramilitary forces entered the city after an year-and-a-half siege marked by starvation and sustained attacks.

The movement of those running from the conflict towards the town of Tawila, about 80km (50 miles) to the west of el-Fasher, had accelerated in the recent days, as stated by UNHCR spokesperson.

They were telling terrible tales of abuses, featuring sexual violence, and the humanitarian group was having trouble to locate enough accommodation and food for them.

Every child was suffering from nutritional deficiencies, she noted.

Estimates suggest that more than 150,000 individuals are currently stranded in el-Fasher, which had been the army's last bastion in the western region of Darfur.

The RSF has disputed widespread accusations that the deaths in el-Fasher are driven by ethnicity and follow a trend of the Arab fighters focusing on ethnic minorities.

However the paramilitary group has arrested one of its fighters, Abu Lulu, who has been implicated in summary executions.

The organization released video showing the member's apprehension after identification that he was responsible for the killing of numerous civilians in the vicinity of el-Fasher.

Digital platform has acknowledged that it has banned the profile connected to Lulu. The status remains unclear whether he had operated the profile in his identity.

Sudan was entered a civil war in April 2023 when a intense power struggle erupted between its military and the RSF.

The conflict has led to a starvation emergency and claims of genocide in the western Sudan.

Over 150,000 persons have been killed in the war across the country, and about 12 million have left their dwellings in what the United Nations has called the world's largest humanitarian crisis.

The seizure of el-Fasher strengthens the geographic split in the country, with the RSF now in control of Sudan's west and much of adjacent Kordofan to the south, and the army holding the main city, Khartoum, the center and east along the coastal region.

The two warring rivals had been collaborators - gaining control together in a takeover in 2021 - but split over an foreign-endorsed plan to transition to civilian rule.
