KHARTOUM, Sudan/ISTANBUL
Chairman of Sudan’s Transitional Sovereignty Council Abdel Fattah al-Burhan on Saturday visited civilians displaced from El-Fasher in the city of Al-Dabba in the Northern State, days after they fled following the city’s takeover by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
The Council shared videos on its official Facebook page showing Burhan inspecting displacement shelters in Al-Dabba and meeting with displaced civilians.
According to the state news agency SUNA, Burhan reviewed the services provided to the displaced civilians in Al-Dabba shelters, stressing his government’s commitment to providing a dignified life for civilians.
“The government places the issue of the displaced at the top of its priorities,” he stressed.
On Oct. 26, the RSF seized control of El-Fasher and committed massacres of civilians, according to local and international organizations, amid warnings that the assault could entrench the country’s geographical partition.
Since April 15, 2023, the Sudanese army and the RSF have been locked in a war that regional and international mediations have failed to end. The conflict has killed thousands of people and displaced millions of others.
