ANALYSIS
Paris documents the horror with the rigor the situation demands. RFI publishes a devastating report on the fall of El-Fasher, where the RSF took the city in October 2025 after 18 months of siege. The testimonies are chilling: Hanah, 39, recounts how Abou Loulou, an RSF commander, removed 200 people from their homes, executed "all middle-aged and young men" and raped the women. Nurse Insaf Oumar Baraka describes bombardments on the Saudi hospital. Le Monde quantifies the scale: 70% of the population now lives on less than $4 per day, double the pre-war rate. Seven million people fell into extreme poverty in 2023 alone. Average incomes have returned to 1992 levels — thirty years erased. RFI also reports from Khartoum: 90% of hospitals are non-functional, roads are damaged, the presidential palace gifted by China is gutted. 1.5 million displaced persons have been forced to return, under pressure from authorities.
