The UN Human Rights Office has sounded the alarm over escalating violence in el-
Fasher, the capital of North Darfur, now under siege by Sudan’s Rapid Support
Forces. UN representative Li Fung described the city as “a city of grief,” saying
civilians who survived 18 months of siege are now enduring “atrocities of an
unimaginable scale.” Hundreds have been killed, many as they sought refuge in
hospitals and schools and thousands more are fleeing to nearby towns like Tawila
under dire conditions. Phemelo speaks to Solomon Dersso from the African
Commission on Human & People’s Rights about the humanitarian crisis unfolding in
Sudan.
