El Fasher in Podcasts

Humanitarian groups say the violence has been escalating since the militia seized control of El Fasher, the largest city in the region where 70 percent of the population, largely Black Sudanese, have fled their homes.

In a speech at the annual Manama Dialogue, UK Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper announced another $6.5 million in British humanitarian support in response to violence in El Fasher, the last major Darfur city to fall to paramilitary rapid support forces.
