Multiple field sources, including members of the joint forces and eyewitnesses from various districts of El Fasher, have confirmed that the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) now exercise near-total control over key parts of the city. The RSF are reportedly preparing to declare a complete victory, following months of fierce battles.

Limited clashes continue in a few pockets where units from the joint forces and the Sudanese army remain present.

Civilians fleeing through safe corridors

According to military sources on the ground, the rapid collapse of several units within the joint forces has triggered a large-scale civilian exodus towards the south and west. These movements are taking place through safe passages, which have been directly overseen by RSF units.

Eyewitnesses confirmed that the displacement is orderly and peaceful, with the RSF issuing strict orders to avoid interfering with civilian movements and ensuring their safe passage away from active combat zones.

In the neighborhoods of Al-Mirghaniya and Al-Zuhur, a number of families have chosen to remain in their homes, citing “popular guarantees” that no acts of retaliation would be carried out against civilians. Field observers note this as a notable shift in urban control methods compared to previous conflict zones.

Victory not yet officially declared

Despite the RSF’s clear advances, they have not yet officially declared victory in El Fasher. Military analysts believe that the announcement is being delayed until civilians and essential infrastructure are fully secured.

Field reports obtained by local volunteer teams reveal that the RSF have already begun logistical coordination with civilian actors to provide food and water supplies to families who chose to stay. Aid trucks have entered several neighborhoods, coinciding with a partial curfew around areas of active clashes.

Hope among the displaced

Some civilians who have fled to neighboring villages expressed hope of returning to El Fasher soon, once the security situation improves. One such displaced person, “Ahmed M.,” said: “We took the southern route. There were RSF personnel organizing the flow and guiding families to gathering points. We encountered no harassment or disorder.”

Remaining hotspots

While some pockets of resistance from the joint forces persist, sources on the ground report that civilians in those areas are being subjected to abuse and arbitrary searches, prompting many to seek safe exit routes.

El Fasher has witnessed a sharp escalation in military operations over recent weeks. However, the past few days have shown a clear shift in the balance of power, with growing signs that the urban conflict may soon reach an end.
