Greater than 300 folks, have been killed in two main displacement camps close to El-Fasher metropolis within the western Darfur area, because the RSF launches a significant assault on the final state capital in Darfur underneath the management of the Sudanese military.
Two years on and the Sudanese military has managed to wrest again management of the capital Khartoum.
