A Boy Flees el-Fasher Amid Spying Allegations

In el-Fasher, Sudan, 12-year-old Abdiwahab recounts his harrowing escape from the city as it fell to the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), facing assaults and separation from family. After a three-day journey to Tawila, he arrives traumatized and alone, joining thousands fleeing violence and atrocities. Aid workers report overwhelming needs, especially for unaccompanied minors, while the situation remains dire for those still trapped in el-Fasher amid famine-like conditions. Recent statements from RSF leadership acknowledge violations, yet many civilians remain unaccounted for, highlighting the urgent humanitarian crisis in the region.
