The international response to El Fasher, the role of proxy actors, and accountability for those backing the conflict.

For 18 months, civilians in Sudan’s el-Fasher were trapped under siege as the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces surrounded the western city, cutting off food and escape routes. When the city fell in October, thousands were killed as people tried to flee.

“No Exit from El Fasher” is an intimate look at the survival of civilians who lived through the siege. The documentary follows the stories of three survivors who fled to Uganda.

Yassmin Abdel-Magied joins the filmmakers and other Sudan experts for a screening and panel discussion on the international response to El Fasher, the role of proxy actors, and accountability for those backing the conflict, including the UAE.
