Conflict in Darfur: Recent Developments
Elimination of Foreign Fighters in El Fasher
The Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) have reported the elimination of several foreign fighters, including individuals from Colombia and Ukraine, in El Fasher, a key city in the Darfur region. The operation reportedly took place in Al-Karama Square, where these fighters attempted to occupy high-rise residential structures. Among the deceased were drone engineers and snipers.
Military intelligence indicates that these foreign mercenaries deployed Ukrainian-manufactured drones for reconnaissance and offensive missions targeting SAF positions.

El Fasher remains one of the last significant urban areas in Darfur not under the control of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). The escalating conflict between SAF and RSF has intensified the humanitarian crisis in the region, severely affecting civilians who are trapped and have limited access to aid. There is an urgent need for food and medical supplies for thousands of displaced individuals.
International and Security Council Response
The SAF's claims have not yet been independently confirmed, and there has been no immediate response from the RSF or the foreign governments alleged to be involved. The Sudanese army has called upon the United Nations Security Council to hold RSF leaders accountable for alleged war crimes and violations of humanitarian standards.
