The recent capture of al-Nahud by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) from the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) has intensified violent conflicts in Sudan, notably targeting the city of el-Fasher in Darfur. Al-Nahud's liberation, marked by significant looting and violence that resulted in casualties, reflects a broader struggle for control in this brutal civil war. With recent statistics indicating over 500 deaths within weeks, the struggle signifies the ongoing urgency and desperation faced by civilians, with many being displaced amid continued RSF advances and attacks on strategic military locations in Khartoum.
Control over al-Nahud has become a priority for both the RSF and SAF as fighting between the pair intensifies in Darfur, where 542 people have been killed in the past three weeks alone.
Local sources told Al Jazeera that the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), which declared on Telegram that it had liberated al-Nahud from the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) on Thursday, had rampaged through neighbourhoods, looting the market, houses and cars.
