El-Fasher Falls as RSF Siege Conducts Mass Killings and Starvation
El-Fasher, once the vibrant capital of North Darfur, has fallen to Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces (RSF), plunging the city into one of the most catastrophic chapters of the country’s war. After a 500-day siege that strangled food, water, and medical supplies, RSF fighters stormed the city, torching neighbourhoods, shelling hospitals, and carrying out execution-style killings. More than 2,000 civilians were reportedly slaughtered in just 48 hours, with bodies left in the streets and homes. Footage emerging from the region shows burned districts and desperate families fleeing under fire. Over 150,000 people have been killed across Sudan since the conflict erupted, and more than 12 million have been displaced. Yet, global attention remains shockingly muted as a humanitarian catastrophe unfolds in real time.
With El-Fasher now entirely cut off, hundreds of thousands of civilians face starvation, disease, and unrelenting violence. Aid agencies warn that the city’s fall could accelerate a genocide if humanitarian corridors are not opened immediately. Witnesses describe widespread sexual violence, mass executions, and the deliberate targeting of families attempting to escape. Despite the United Nations calling this a “terrible escalation,” diplomatic urgency remains absent and media coverage sparse. Sudan’s war has slipped into silence, but the stakes could not be higher; every day without international action means more deaths, more families broken, and another crisis the world failed to stop.
What is happening in Sudan — the massacres, the famine, the killing of children and women, and the forced displacement of civilians — cannot be met with silence.
Each passing day brings new pain that breaks the heart and extinguishes hope in the eyes of the innocent.
It truly destroys me from within; words can no longer capture the depth of this suffering.
The words have run out, leaving only a silence heavy with grief and helplessness in the face of this human tragedy.
#Pakistan's Punjab Police launched a brutal crackdown on Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) protesters in Muridke, triggering violent clashes that left at least 15 people dead and scores injured.
Pakistan Rangers reportedly engaged with TLP activists, with protesters accusing the paramilitary of using sophisticated weapons against them.
TLP had launched its protest from Lahore on Friday with the announcement to march up to the American embassy in Islamabad, and stage a sit-in protest in solidarity of Gaza.
This is a Syrian man from rural Idlib who was interviewed several years ago. He said:
“Yes, it’s true—we left our homes and lost everything. But we are happy, because our dignity is priceless. We will never accept living under the rule of Bashar al-Assad.”
And today, after Syria has been liberated, he returns to his home to rebuild it once again.

I was recording a video summarizing the battle in Suwayda,
and a bird came and landed on my head,
as if it were saying: “Rest assured, people of al-Sham.”
Birds are usually afraid of humans.
Israeli drones were in the south Syrian skies a few hours ago and just struck the convoy of State Security Forces headed into Suwaydaa injuring a number of President Ahmad Sharaa’s forces. Details to follow Insha Allah…

Syrian Druze Leader Laith al-Balous:
We’re not taking sides — we’re defending Suwayda’s dignity and unity. We’ve tried to calm tensions, protect civilians, and push for dialogue, not violence.
Despite threats, attacks, and even desecration of my father’s grave, we didn’t retaliate — we stood firm. We reject chaos and foreign agendas.
We’re for a united Syria, ruled by law, not blood.
To Suwayda: we won’t abandon you. To the world: act now — don’t just watch another tragedy unfold.
