On 19 September 2025, Rapid Support Forces militias in Sudan fired a missile at a mosque in the besieged city of El Fasher, killing 75 civilians as they carried out their Friday prayer.
Since April 2023, Sudan has been in a civil war between two factions, the Rapid Support Forces with the Janjaweed and the local Sudanese armed forces. The Rapid Support Forces maintain the belief of racial superiority of their imagined Arab ancestry, and due to their power base in Darfur the locals which are viewed as “lesser” due to their African identity are being subject to severe ethnic violence.[1][2]
