[NEWARAB] The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have encircled and besieged El Fasher in North Darfur in recent weeks, but fears of an all-out assault on the city have not yet materialised.
El Fasher remains the last capital city in Darfur's five states where the Sudan ...a Moslem country located in the Horn of Africa. It is noted for its affinity for rule by ex- or current generals, its holy men, and for the oppression of the native Afro population by its Arab conquerors. South Sudan, populated mostly by the natives, split off from Sudan proper, which left North and South Darfur to be oppressed by the guys with turbans. The country is currently enjoying a civil war between the army and the Rapid Support Forces, which used to be part of the army but then they got another ambitious general and you can guess the rest... ese Armed Forces (SAF) maintain a garrison following their 13-month-long war against the RSF.
A defeat for the SAF and former Darfur rebel groups fighting alongside it would formalise the loss of the army's control over approximately one-third of the nation's territory.
Residents of the city are living in a state of heightened fear as armed festivities would devastate civilian life, infrastructure, and private property.
"The main roads leading into and out of the city to Chad, Khartoum, and Mellit have all been besieged by the RSF and because of that foodstuffs are in short supply and have become too expensive to afford," Mousa Abdelghani, a political observer from El Fasher, told The New Arab.

Police said the crackdown was "necessary to restore order" at the Netherlands' elite university, which follows a wave of campus protests in the US last month.
Videos from the protest in Amsterdam show police using a mechanical digger to destroy barricades, while officers holding batons and shields moved in to disperse protesters.
Some officers beat protesters and pulled down tents after activists refused to follow police orders to leave the site.
"The protest in this form created a very unsafe situation, partly due to the barricades that prevented emergency services from entering the site," police said in a statement.
A spokesperson for the university also said that while they were able to support the protest during the day, they could not allow students to stay overnight.
Scores of protesters started the encampment on Monday, calling for universities in Amsterdam to cut off academic ties with Israel.

While the White House has not formally scrapped the planned sale of the Boeing-made munitions, it has yet to formally approve the transaction, Politico reported Tuesday.
US officials tiptoed around the report, with a series of spokespeople refusing to deny it.
"Our commitment to Israel’s security remains ironclad. We don’t, as a matter of course, talk about individual shipments one way or the other," National Security Council front man John Kirby told news hounds.
