| The world through its media | |
| The governor of the western Sudanese region of Darfur, Minni Minnawi, has urged civilians to take up arms to defend themselves and the regional capital, El-Fasher, from the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), which has been besieging the city for weeks. | |
| More than 60 people have died and hundreds wounded since the latest clashes began on 10 May, according to medical charity Doctors Without Borders. | |
| "We declare a general alert to defend the innocent lives and property of citizens in El Fasher," Mr Minnawi posted on X platform on Thursday. | |
| He was responding to a similar call by RSF, which he said had “launched a new campaign to mobilise [fighters] from all regions" to invade the city. | |
| The RSF, however, rejected the allegations and instead accused the governor of “fomenting discord across Darfur”. | |
| The paramilitary forces and the Sudanese army, backed by Darfur armed groups, have continued to trade blame over the escalating sporadic violent ground clashes in El Fasher. | |
| The UN's humanitarian coordinator for Sudan, Clementine Nkweta-Salami, has warned that the continued violence threatens the lives of over 800,000 civilians. | |
| Sudan’s brutal civil war began in April last year and international efforts to broker a ceasefire between the rival forces have repeatedly failed. | |
