The Washington Post published on 27 October 2025 an article titled "Sudanese Paramilitary Enters Army's Last Stronghold in Darfur" by Katharine Houreld and Hafiz Haroun.
The paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have taken control of the Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) military headquarters in El Fasher, capital of North Darfur. SAF soldiers moved to other parts of the city, and it is not clear who controls most of it. RSF control of El Fasher would consolidate a division of the country between the SAF and the RSF and could result in a bloodbath in the city.
