On Friday, clashes described as violent between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces renewed in the city of El Fasher, the capital of North Darfur state, and the army’s last fortress in the west of the country.

The city hosts hundreds of thousands of displaced people fleeing from the fighting in their areas, and it seems that it will witness fierce battles given the state of alert and military mobilization of the warring parties, which has been ongoing for a long time.

International calls by parties to the conflict to avoid fighting expected to cause humanitarian disasters if fighting erupts have been unsuccessful.

"There has been an increase in arbitrary killings, theft and looting of livestock, the systematic burning of entire villages in rural areas, the escalation of aerial bombardment of parts of the city, and the tightening of the siege around El Fasher," Harward said.

On Thursday, Human Rights Watch accused the RSF of committing "ethnic cleansing and killings that may indicate that genocide has occurred or is taking place against the Masalit African ethnic group, in the city of El Geneina, the capital of West Darfur state."
