Sudan’s military chief has confirmed the army’s withdrawal from its last western stronghold of el-Fasher after the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) declared control of the city.
In a televised address, Gen Abdel Fattah al-Burhan said he had approved the withdrawal in response to the “systematic destruction and killing of civilians”. He said he had agreed with local leaders to “leave and go to a safe place to protect the remaining citizens and the rest of the city from destruction”. END
