PORT SUDAN: Besieging Sudanese paramilitary forces pounded El-Fasher on Saturday, witnesses said, killing 22 people in Darfur's last town outside their control, according to a hospital source. El-Fasher has become a key battleground in the 15-month war pitting the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) against the regular army. The battle for the state capital in North Darfur, seen as crucial for humanitarian aid in a region on the brink of famine, has raged for more than two months.
