## Description

El Fasher Airport (ELF) sits inside an active conflict zone rather than a working logistics network. After a long siege, the RSF captured the North Darfur capital in late October 2025, an assault marked by mass atrocities, with the airport falling as the army's final position in the city. It is out of service for civil traffic and handles no commercial cargo. Goods for Darfur depend entirely on the fragile security situation, and shippers to Sudan route instead via Port Sudan (PZU) and the gradually reopening Khartoum (KRT). The regional security picture remains extremely volatile.
