As part of their continuing efforts to spread sedition and ignite a civil

As part of their continuing efforts to spread sedition and ignite a civil war in Darfur, the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF), its allied mercenary groups, and its extremist patrons linked to the former regime continued their blatant transgressions today by attacking our positions in the city of El Fasher through indiscriminate artillery shelling, resulting in numerous civilian casualties.

Our forces confronted them courageously, seizing five fully equipped military vehicles and inflicting heavy casualties on the attackers, who fled to take refuge among innocent civilians.

Day by day, the true nature of the opposing forces is revealed, as they loot banks and steal depositors' funds and gold from markets in El Fasher. The opportunistic mercenary forces of Minni Arko Minawi have also deliberately stolen humanitarian aid and subsidies, diverting them to the headquarters of the SAF Sixth Infantry Division in North Darfur.

These acts of theft and egregious violations against innocent civilians are rooted deep within this misguided group of terrorists, who seized power more than 30 years ago and ruled our nation in horror and unprecedented corruption. They continue to pillage our country and its people today – not just their material wealth but their morals, values, and aspirations.

The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) closely monitors the vile actions of the SAF and its extremist allies linked to the former regime, documenting their heinous crimes against humanity. These include the indiscriminate shelling of residential areas in El Fasher and other regions, resulting in hundreds of civilian deaths and the displacement of thousands of families in North Darfur.

We will spare no effort in our mission to safeguard the rights and property of the Sudanese people and to help them achieve their dream of a decent life and a renewed Sudan marked by justice, inclusivity, and democracy. Together, we will restore authority to the people and protect our country from the evils of the corrupt and terror-driven former regime.
