In October 2025, the city of El Fasher in North Darfur fell to the Rapid Support Forces, a paramilitary organisation which has been engaged in a vicious civil war against the Sudanese armed forces. The United Nations says thousands have fled El Fasher since the RSF takeover. Over the course of the war the BBC says more than 150,000 people have died and about 12 million have fled their homes since the conflict broke out in April 2023. So how did we get here? The northeast African country gained its independence from Britain and Egypt on the 1st of January 1956 and has faced a series of upheavals since. To find out more about this history, Joseph Keen has been speaking to Dr Aida Abbashar who specialises in Sudanese political history.
