The El-Fashir Disinformation War: How Fact-Checking Exposed the Islamists’ Lies
Dr. Ahmed Eltigani Sidahmed
Founding Leader, Sudanese Founding Alliance (TASIS)
Rome, Italy – November 2025
Following the fall of El-Fashir in October 2025, a massive media campaign orchestrated by remnants of Sudan’s Islamist regime and the Muslim Brotherhood unleashed a storm of fabricated images and gruesome videos, alleging that the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) had massacred civilians.
But evidence has now revealed that these claims were part of a coordinated disinformation war designed to rescue the defeated regime’s reputation and distort the victory of the Founding Alliance (TASIS).
Within days, social media was flooded with thousands of photos and clips depicting horrific scenes.
Yet, investigations by Sky News Arabia and the independent verification platform Bellingcat confirmed that most of the 37 visual materials analyzed were AI-generated, digitally altered, or taken from unrelated conflicts in Chad, Mali, and Tunisia.
Deception as a Weapon of Defeat
The Islamist media machine weaponized misinformation to shift global perception — to turn a military defeat into a moral illusion of victimhood.
But the facts, methodically verified, exposed the deception.
Bellingcat revealed that several viral clips had no relation to Sudan at all; some were created entirely by artificial intelligence, while others were recycled from unrelated tragedies.
This wasn’t journalism — it was propaganda dressed as empathy, designed to manipulate outrage and stall the moral momentum of Sudan’s liberation.
The Ethical Collapse
The real tragedy of such deceit lies in how it harms genuine victims and erodes confidence in verified field documentation.
When lies masquerade as evidence, accountability dies — and those responsible for real crimes hide behind the smoke of fabricated ones.
Therefore, the Quartet (United States, United Kingdom, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE) — together with the United Nations and other international actors — must revise and withdraw their unfounded allegations built upon unverified or falsified reports.
Responsible diplomacy must be guided by truth, not by the echo of Islamist propaganda.
The credibility of international institutions will be measured not by how loudly they condemn, but by how honestly they verify.
El-Fashir was liberated by force, but the truth liberated it again from falsehood.
Its story now stands as proof that awareness outlives manipulation — and light, inevitably, defeats deceit.
