The paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has sent thousands more people fleeing in Sudan as it prepares a new offensive after atrocities committed during its assault on el-Fasher in the western region of Darfur .

The United Nations warned in a report released late on Sunday of the humanitarian consequences as the paramilitary onslaught continues to forcibly displace thousands of people.

The RSF, led by Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo , widely known as Hemedti, released a video on the same day saying it is “amassing a large force, heralding the imminent liberation of el-Obeid”.

The state capital of North Kordofan in the centre of Sudan lies east of Darfur, where the RSF killed and displaced thousands of people over the past week after seizing control of el-Fasher from government forces.
