Reuters: Escapee describes summary killings after Darfur city's fall

The United Nations estimates around 200,000 civilians were trapped in el-Fasher when the army withdrew. Advocacy groups say many are now being systematically killed.
Among the dead is Muhammad Khamis Duda, a spokesperson for the Zamzam displacement camp near el-Fasher, who documented the siege for months, sending voice messages to international media until his death. He survived an attack on the camp by the RSF in April where they slaughtered hundreds. But still he refused to leave, determined to stay and help others.
"The situation in el-Fasher right now is very horrible," Duda said in one of his final messages to NPR before his death.

(82,312 posts)Despite strained Sudan-UАЕ relations, gold shipments flowed freely from Sudan to Dubаi, with exports facing no obstacles and operating with official approval in Port Sudan. Political tensions didn't disrupt the lucrative trade, which continued despite the December 2023 expulsion of diplomats and accusations of smuggling. Atef Ahmed, the Secretary-General of the Goldsmiths Union, affirmed the ongoing flow of shipments to the UАЕ and the processing of others.[69]
The UAE, which was supporting the RSF, conducted a covert operation under the pretence of aiding refugees. The operation involved supplying potent weapons and drones to the RSF, providing medical treatment to wounded fighters, and airlifting severe cases to one of its military hospitals. The operation was headquartered at an airfield and a hospital in Amdjarass in Chad.[10]
