The confirmation of this capture would signify a significant shift in the ongoing conflict in Sudan. The strategic loss of El Fasher would represent a critical setback for the Sudanese army in the Darfur region, a known RSF stronghold. Currently, the RSF controls the Darfur and Kordofan regions, while the Sudanese armed forces maintain control over most of the southeastern regions of the country and the Nile River area.
