RSF Offensive in Al-Fashir Displaces 35,000
On March 18, 2026, the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) launched a major artillery barrage and ground assault on the eastern outskirts of Al-Fashir, North Darfur. The intense fighting between the RSF and SAF, supported by allied armed movements, forced approximately 35,000 civilians to flee towards the Zamzam IDP camp. Local humanitarian monitors reported severe casualties and the burning of residential structures. This incident marks a significant escalation in the ongoing siege of the city. Source: Sudan Tribune.
