Sudan's Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have intensified attacks on the besieged city of El-Fasher in North Darfur, including shelling a hospital and abducting six women and two children from a nearby displacement camp. The RSF also launched assaults on army positions northeast of El-Fasher, with ongoing fighting reported on the northern and eastern fronts of the city. On August 28, artillery shelling by RSF killed 24 people and injured 55, including five women. The city, home to approximately 260,000 civilians, has been under siege for over 16 months, resulting in severe shortages of food, medicine, and aid. More than 130,000 children remain trapped under these conditions, facing critical risks as clashes continue. Meanwhile, in the Ivory Coast near the Burkina Faso border, armed attacks have resulted in four deaths, one injury, and the burning of 20 houses. The attackers, likely affiliated with the jihadist group JNIM, also kidnapped one person. In Burkina Faso, the Islamic State in the Sahel (IS-SP) claimed an ambush killing at least 15 members of the local civilian defense forces (VDP), seizing weapons and motorcycles. These developments underscore ongoing regional instability and violence in parts of Sudan, Ivory Coast, and Burkina Faso.
