The fall of El-Fasher, one year on
The United Kingdom has sanctioned 15 military officials for brutality and abuse during the fall of El Fasher, while Algeria prepares to deploy army units to Niger to protect energy interests.
The sanctions come one year after the fall of El Fasher, a significant event in the region's conflict. The measures specifically target military officials accused of committing atrocities against civilians during the hostilities.
Meanwhile, Algeria has announced plans to send army units to neighboring Niger, citing the need to protect its energy and economic interests in the country. This deployment could further complicate the already volatile security situation in the Sahel region.
In South Africa, the death of a foreigner who was beaten to death in Durban has exposed the dangers faced by migrants. The stalled asylum process has left many foreign nationals living in fear, with little protection from authorities.
