The Spin
Narrative A
The RSF attack represents a calculated military strategy to break the army's resistance in el-Fasher. Targeting displacement camps weakens civilian support for army forces while demonstrating RSF control over the region. Military pressure on the last government stronghold in Darfur serves strategic objectives.
Narrative B
This assault constitutes deliberate targeting of vulnerable civilians trapped by famine and siege conditions. The attack violated international humanitarian law by striking a protected displacement site housing 450,000 people. Blocking escape routes while attacking camps shows systematic persecution of non-combatants.
