New process will surge aid into Sudan’s El Fasher: US official

An agreement with the Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces is being finalised that will see the paramilitary group allow aid into the western city of El Fasher, a US official said on Wednesday. US envoy Massad Boulos, President Donald Trump's senior adviser for Africa, said the deal would allow for a system to allow aid to enter the besieged city, which the RSF is trying to seize from the Sudanese army. The US has been working with the World Food Programme, the International Committee of the Red Cross and various NGOs, he said.
