Paramilitary leaders in Sudan have pledged to allow international aid and investigators into the famine-stricken city of El Fasher, following months of violence and atrocities against civilians. United Nations aid chief Tom Fletcher met with the Rapid Support Forces in Darfur, where he negotiated for access to deliver relief and investigate abuses, though he cautioned that security and logistics remain uncertain. The situation in El Fasher is dire, with tens of thousands trapped and reports of mass executions, sexual violence, and widespread displacement. International efforts to broker a humanitarian truce are ongoing, but the conflict continues to draw in regional powers and remains deeply complex.
