Is controlling el-Fasher a game-changer in Sudan’s war?

The Sudanese army has withdrawn from El-Fasher in the state of North Darfur, according to reports.

Sudan’s military and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have engaged in a bloody conflict for more than two years.

And this week, the RSF took control of the important city of El-Fasher, North Darfur’s capital, which had been under months of siege from RSF forces.

Is there a chance for Sudan to split now that the group has taken control of the city and the army is in charge of Khartoum’s capital?

Who will guard the tens of thousands of people who are currently evacuating fire?
