The African Union chairman condemned on Tuesday alleged "atrocities" and reported "war crimes" in Sudan's strategic hub of El-Fasher and called for an immediate halt to fighting. This comes after Sudan's army admitted on Monday it had withdrawn from the city.
After an 18-month siege, the city in western Darfur was seized in October by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) paramilitary group which Sudanese army troops have been fighting since April 2023.
