RSF Seizes El Fashir; UN Reports Abuses, U.S. Pressure

Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces seized El Fashir after an 18‑month siege, triggering flight. The UN briefed the Security Council on executions, rapes and abuses under a communications blackout. Reports cited foreign involvement, including alleged UAE arms, which Abu Dhabi denies, while the army is backed by Egypt and Iran. U.S. senators urged designating the RSF a terrorist organization, citing atrocities.
