Sanctioned Sudan’s RSF and rebel allies claim eight territories amid global condemnation
The move, which comes just days after fierce international condemnation, signals a dramatic escalation in Sudan's power struggle.

The move, which comes just days after fierce international condemnation, signals a dramatic escalation in Sudan's power struggle — one that risks deepening the country's fragmentation and further alienating the RSF from global legitimacy.
