Overview

  • The UN Human Rights Council mandated a fact-finding mission to urgently investigate violations in El-Fasher and to identify alleged perpetrators for possible judicial action.
  • Rapid Support Forces seized El-Fasher on October 26, with UN estimates indicating nearly 100,000 people fled and numerous reports detailing massacres, sexual violence and executions.
  • Fighting has intensified in Kordofan, including around the strategic rail hub of Babanusa, with the IOM reporting roughly 50,000 newly displaced and several towns cut off from aid.
  • The Sudanese army reported drone attacks on Merowe targeting its headquarters, the airport and the dam, attributing them to the RSF and claiming interceptions, while residents described a citywide power outage.
  • The Danish Refugee Council says more than 30 million people now need emergency aid, as G7 ministers decry the conflict’s devastating civilian toll and the United States urges action to halt RSF resupply, with UAE involvement allegations denied.
