Sudan conflict: BBC hears of horror and hunger in massacre town El Geneina

Massacres scar the town of El Geneina in Darfur, now a near-empty city as Sudan's 19-month war grinds on.

- The #RSF recruit child soldiers (although there is evidence the #SAF do the same).

- Ethnic targeting by the RSF of the #Masalit and other "non-Arab" communities (although it stops short from calling it a #genocide or pointing at the complicity of the SAF).

Dubai boycott: Why more stars might follow Macklemore's lead

The United Arab Emirates is accused of having links to a paramilitary group, in Sudan, suspected of genocide.

#SAF-aligned rebel groups in El Fasher and Easter #Sudan, meanwhile, know they're fighting for their own survival and that of #Darfur's "African" ethnicities such as the #Zaghawa, the #Fur and the #Masalit. Conflicts between those groups and local civilians in Eastern Sudan and SAF's ethnic targeting of Darfuris and Kordofanis might temperate this "advantage" however.
Children ‘piled up and shot’ in Sudan as UN envoy says world cannot ignore this ‘silent war and famine’

Human Rights Watch report alleges genocide has likely been committed during a year-long civil war

The Independent

#Sudan ‘s paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (#RSF) and allied militias killed "at least thousands of people" in West Darfur state, an international rights group has said, in what it called apparent "crimes against humanity" and “ #genocide “. Human Rights Watch (#HRW) said that RSF attacks on the #Masalit tribe and other non-Arab groups between April and November 2023 were some of the worst atrocities in the ongoing civil #war which started that April. #Darfur #Africa

Sudan’s paramilitary RSF accused of ‘ethnic cleansing’ in West Darfur

Human Rights Watch says ‘thousands’ killed in attacks last year targeting Masalit tribe and other non-Arab groups.

#Russia chooses sides in #Sudan

Despite Ukrainian claims, Russia has long remained a pragmatic – rather than "neutral" – actor in Sudan, including during the current civil war. Both Hemedti and Burhan had been careful to keep warm ties with Moscow since 2019, and both have been in business with the former #Wagner PMC (including during the war). A recent independent report pointed to the complicity of Russia/Wagner in the #genocide of the #Masalit by the #RSF in #Darfur.

#Ukraine #AfricaCorps

The #UAE are the main backer of the #RSF and as such the main complicit in their many atrocity crimes, including #genocide of the #Masalit in #Darfur, and other “non-Arab” or “African” groups, such as the #Fur and the #Zaghawa. The RSF lately threatened an all-out attack on El Fasher (North Darfur), last #SAF holdout in the region and where formerly neutral rebel groups have for the most part recently decided to wage war on the RSF.
