Overview
- Britain announced travel bans and asset freezes on 15 senior RSF and SAF commanders and pledged £15 million for survivors and humanitarian relief to mark the first anniversary of El Fasher’s fall.
- An independent UN fact-finding mission and UN human-rights officials say the RSF’s 18-month siege and October 2025 takeover of El Fasher involved mass killings, widespread sexual violence, torture and actions the mission called “indicators of a genocidal path.”
- Rights groups and medical teams reported a deadly military drone strike on a crowded Nyala market on Monday evening that killed scores of civilians, with tolls ranging from dozens to more than 100 and many more wounded.
- Explosive drone attacks have also hit power infrastructure, including a strike on the Al-Markhiyat transformer in Omdurman that left large parts of Khartoum without electricity for more than 12 hours and disrupted water and hospital services.
- The violence has driven mass displacement into internal camps and across the border to Chad, worsened food insecurity and left survivors facing steep barriers to collecting evidence or securing justice, with reports of foreign private contractors and alleged external support complicating accountability.
