The Sudanese region of Darfur is facing the threat of renewed ethnic violence, with fears of a large-scale massacre in the city of El Fasher. The struggle for control of the city between Sudan's military and the Rapid Support Forces has raised concerns of an imminent assault and potential humanitarian crisis. Foreign powers, particularly the United Arab Emirates, have been accused of fueling the conflict. The situation is escalating rapidly, drawing in various ethnic, religious, and rebel groups, as well as foreign sponsors. The city's population, already suffering from severe malnutrition, is caught in the crossfire, with both sides obstructing food aid. The looming crisis has prompted urgent appeals for international intervention to prevent a catastrophic outcome.
