RSF’s Strategic Role in Al-Fasher
In Al-Fasher, the capital of North Darfur, the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have become a significant actor in a region historically neglected by central military authority. While the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) have struggled with civilian protection and supply routes, the RSF has established control, influencing both military and humanitarian outcomes.
Recently, the RSF has tightened its grip on the city, demonstrating logistical capabilities and asserting power in ways the SAF has not. This shift has raised questions about the effectiveness of the SAF, which has been pushed into a defensive stance.
A notable development is the Quad Initiative, brokered by the U.S., UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt, allowing humanitarian aid access through RSF-controlled routes. This positions the RSF as a facilitator of aid, highlighting its role in enabling life-saving assistance.
While the RSF's actions may contribute to stability in Al-Fasher, challenges remain, including civilian casualties and allegations of misconduct. The situation continues to evolve, with implications for both humanitarian access and regional stability.
