Per the UNHCR, over 60,000 people have left the Sudanese city of el-Fasher, which was taken over by the paramilitary RSF recently.

Accounts suggest mass executions and human rights violations as militia members stormed the city following an 18-month blockade characterized by famine and intense shelling.

The flow of those running from the violence towards the town of Tawila, roughly 80km (50 miles) to the west of el-Fasher, had grown in the recent days, as stated by UNHCR spokesperson.

They were describing terrible tales of abuses, featuring rape, and the agency was finding it difficult to find sufficient accommodation and food for them.

Every child was affected by malnutrition, she commented.

Calculations indicate that in excess of 150,000 people are still trapped in el-Fasher, which had been the army's final stronghold in the western region of Darfur.

The Rapid Support Forces has denied broad claims that the deaths in el-Fasher are driven by ethnicity and follow a trend of the Arab fighters focusing on ethnic minorities.

Yet the RSF has arrested one of its fighters, Abu Lulu, who has been implicated in on-the-spot executions.

The organization released footage showing the fighter's apprehension subsequent to identification that he was involved in the killing of multiple non-combatants in the vicinity of el-Fasher.

Digital platform has confirmed that it has banned the profile associated with Lulu. It is not clear whether he had operated the account in his name.

Sudan was thrown into a internal conflict in April 2023 when a brutal struggle for power began between its army and the Rapid Support Forces.

It has led to a starvation emergency and allegations of ethnic cleansing in the western Sudan.

More than 150,000 persons have been killed in the fighting throughout the country, and approximately 12 million have left their residences in what the United Nations has described as the world's largest humanitarian emergency.

The seizure of el-Fasher solidifies the territorial division in the country, with the Rapid Support Forces now in command of western Sudan and much of adjacent Kordofan to the southern area, and the military holding the capital, Khartoum, central and eastern regions along the Red Sea.

The opposing sides had been collaborators - coming to power together in a takeover in 2021 - but split over an foreign-endorsed proposal to move towards democratic governance.
