The International Crisis Group (ICG) posted on 24 June 2024 an analysis titled "Halting the Catastrophic Battle for Sudan's El Fasher."
A showdown between the Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) is unfolding in Sudan's North Darfur region in the besieged capital of El Fasher. More than a million civilians are caught up in the conflict.
The ICG is calling on the United Nations and the United States to mediate a de-escalation of the situation while the UAE presses the RSF to stand down and Egypt and Saudi Arabia do the same with the SAF.
