The reporter was taken into custody by the RSF on Sunday evening, shortly after the paramilitary force claimed control of North Darfur’s besieged capital.
In an effort to recapture the Sudanese army’s final stronghold in the vast western region of Darfur, the RSF has laid siege to El-Fasher for almost 18 months.
The freelance journalist who was captured and contributed to Al Jazeera Mubasher has received several videos.
In one, Ibrahim claims that the RSF was in custody and that he had been detained while trying to leave El-Fasher.
RSF fighters fight it out to appear and make comments in the video, which he is surrounded by. One masked fighter can be seen to the side.
Ibrahim claims to be a neutral journalist who has no ties to the RSF or the Sudanese army.
Another video shows Ibrahim being encircled by RSF fighters, who claim he is well-treated, while croucheing on the ground.
They cuff him on the head and point at some meat, saying, “You’ve been eating animal feed, and now you’ll get a meal with meat,” at one point.
The Sudanese Journalists Syndicate stated in a statement on Sunday night that it was “deeply concerned about the arrest” and demanded that he be immediately and unconditionally released.
In keeping with the current state of the city’s suffering during the siege, Ibrahim had previously covered the past two years of conflict in Sudan. The city has been plagued by severe hunger since that time.
In his most recent post on social media, Ibrahim read, “Pray for us, may God keep its people.”
In response to the fighting, 1, 070 people were displaced from El-Fasher in just two days, according to the most recent information from the International Organization for Migration, between October 19 and October 21.
