Sudan's RSF pushes into Abu Shouk camp as fierce fighting engulfs El Fasher - Sudan Tribune

[SUDANTRIBUNE] 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...
's Rapid Support Forces (RSF) pushed deeper into a vast displacement camp in El Fasher on Monday, three local sources said, as fierce fighting raged for control of the North Darfur capital amid conflicting claims of battlefield gains from both sides.
The advance was focused on the Abu Shouk camp, which is home to approximately 190,000 people. The sources told Sudan Tribune that the RSF now controls about half of the camp, having forcibly displaced residents, looted homes, and kidnapped around 30 people, including women and kiddies.
The escalating festivities in El Fasher, the historic capital of the Darfur region, are drawing closer to strategic army positions, including the city's airport and artillery headquarters.
An RSF field commander told Sudan Tribune his forces were advancing along three axes to capture the army's 6th Infantry Division headquarters in the city centre. He said that troops on a southern front were fighting near El Fasher International Airport, while another force was tasked with neutralizing the army's artillery command in the west.
The army's artillery has played a key role in repelling previous RSF assaults on the city.
However,
facts are stubborn; statistics are more pliable...
a front man for the joint force of gangs fighting alongside the army denied the RSF had made any significant progress.
''El Fasher is fine, and the army and the joint force are steadfast,'' front man Ahmed Hussein Mustafa told Sudan Tribune. ''They have repelled all recent attacks and forced the Rapid Support to retreat.''
