RSF Drone Strikes Target El Obeid Amid Darfur Humanitarian Collapse
Rapid Support Forces (RSF) intensified drone strikes on El Obeid on August 30, 2026, raising fears of a repeat of the El Fasher massacre. The UN reported that the recent fall of El Fasher after a 500-day siege has led to the displacement of nearly 89,000 people and widespread executions. Famine has been formally declared in parts of North Darfur, where aid access remains blocked by paramilitary forces, leaving millions facing acute starvation and disease.
