Sudan's RSF paramilitary forces reportedly launch an attack on the army's last stronghold in Darfur, where tens of thousands of civilians are trapped.
Burhan, confirmed that his forces had withdrawn from El Fasher, a decisive shift in control of the sprawling Darfur region of Sudan.
El Fasher has been under siege since April last year, with tens of thousands of civilians trapped inside enduring famine, daily bombardment and massacres.
