- That there is an ongoing #genocide of the #Masalit in #Darfur, the #RSF being responsible for multiple genocidal acts and incitement to genocide. 10 to 15,000 Masalit have been killed in El Geneina (West Darfur) alone.
- The #SAF failed to prevent this genocide in the few areas under their effective control.
- The ongoing #genocide is the continuation of the 2003 genocide. "The same perpetrators are committing the same atrocities against the same targeted groups with #impunity".
- #RSF' supporters, that is chiefly the #UAE, but also #Libya and #Haftar's #LNA, #Russia and the #Wagner Group (now #AfricaCorps), #Chad, #CAR are complicit.
While deaths resulting from the war and atrocity crimes throughout #Sudan now number in the tens of thousands and more than half of its 49 million inhabitants are in need of humanitarian assistance. As the vast majority of health facilities are unable to operate, and this year's crops point to a much worsening famine ahead, we need to #KeepEyesOnSudan.
Beyond the direct support of some to both warlords now vying for power, amounting to complicity in their crimes, all parties to the #Genocide Convention have a legal - and moral - duty to act in support of targeted groups that no single financial pledge can honour. It is unacceptable that, 30 years after the genocide of the Tutsi, states should again fail to act.
