International Massacres in Sudan

Sudan war: Women endure starvation, rape and bombs fleeing El Fasher​

“Women speaking to us from El Fasher, the heart of Sudan's latest catastrophe, tell us that they've endured starvation…displacement, rape and bombardment,” Anna Mutavati, UN Women Regional Director for East and Southern Africa, told reporters in Geneva. “Pregnant women have given birth in the streets as the last remaining maternity hospitals were looted and destroyed.”

The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia captured North Darfur state capital El Fasher after more than 500 days of siege in late October, amid reports of widespread atrocities including summary executions and sexual violence.

Fighting erupted in April 2023 between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the paramilitary RSF when a transition to civilian rule broke down, stemming from the overthrow of long-time ruler Omar al-Bashir four years earlier. The ensuing heavy fighting has devastated communities, displaced millions and exacerbated an already dire humanitarian crisis.

In 2008, the UN Security Council recognised that rape in conflict and other forms of sexual violence can constitute a war crime, a crime against humanity and a component of genocide.

Ms. Mutavati said that the situation is worsening dramatically as fighting spreads around the city, prompting mass displacement. Thousands of women and girls have fled to other localities in North Darfur including Tawila, which is some 70 kilometres away, Korma and Malit, where a humanitarian presence is “very scarce”.

On Monday, UN aid coordination office OCHA said that nearly 89,000 people have fled from the area, some seeking refuge near the Sudan-Chad border.

“What the women tell us is that on their horrific journey…every step that they've taken to fetch water, to collect firewood or to stand in a food line has carried a high risk of sexual violence,” the UN Women representative said. “There is mounting evidence that rape is being deliberately and systematically used as a weapon of war.”

Nowhere is safe​

Warning that women's bodies “have just become a crime scene in Sudan”, Ms. Mutavati insisted that there are “no safe spaces” left where women can find protection or access basic psychosocial care.

“Basic dignity has also collapsed,” the UN Women official insisted, explaining that in North Darfur a single packet of sanitary towels costs around $27, while humanitarian cash assistance amounts to slightly below $150 per month for a family of six, on average.

Ms. Mutavati spoke of “impossible decisions” having to be made by families “forced to choose between food and medicine and dignity”.

“The essential needs of women and girls fall to the very bottom of that list,” she said.

Ms. Mutavati also said that in Sudan - like in other crises - “women and girls eat the least and they eat last”.

“Most women and girls may not be eating at all in Sudan…Women often skip meals so that their children can eat, while adolescent girls frequently get the smallest share, undermining their long-term nutrition and health,” she said.

“In besieged, remote areas like Darfur or Kordofan, women and girls are often the ones that are scavenging for survival,” Ms. Mutavati added, citing reports of women “foraging for wild leaves and berries to boil into soup” while facing additional risks of violence.

Starvation takes hold​

In early November, the latest UN-backed IPC food security analysis confirmed famine conditions in El Fasher and in the capital of South Kordofan state, Kadugli.

Ms. Mutavati also said that health workers report rising cases of severe acute malnutrition in infants, often linked to their starving mothers’ reduced ability to breastfeed.

“There's a ripple effect of the hunger that women are experiencing,” she warned.

Calling for an end to the violence, for broader humanitarian access and for increased support to women-led soup kitchens and other aid providers, Ms. Mutavati stressed that women and girls in Sudan “are the measure of our shared humanity”.

“Every day that the world delays to act on Sudan, another woman gives birth under fire or buries her child in hunger, or disappears without justice,” she concluded.

Relief chief presses for aid access​

The UN’s top humanitarian official, Tom Fletcher, arrived in Sudan on Monday to press for an end to atrocities and to push for unhindered access for aid workers.

The situation in North Darfur remains volatile following the fall of El Fasher. Although major clashes have eased, civilians still face sporadic attacks, looting and gender-based violence.

In South Kordofan, a drone strike reportedly hit the town of Um Barmbeeta, destroying a school and injuring several displaced people, while insecurity continues to block access to areas where thousands remain cut off from aid.

More than 12,000 people have fled violence in Darfur and Kordofan to seek safety in White Nile State since late October, straining already scarce resources. The UN has again called for the protection of civilians and for aid workers to be granted safe and sustained access across frontlines.

It's okay just Muslims killing Muslims........ Don't matter the flavour......sort of reminds me of the years before WWII..........and socialists killing each other off, them poor Anarchists............

I'm sorry but if you don't understand how weird Shi'a funding Sunnis is then I think you need to read more into it......... Those 2 hate each other...... They've been at it since the beginning.....

To be fair, Muslims kill whoever they are around. They only focus on killing each other, when no one else is around. Currently they are ravaging Europe.

Horiffic stuff funded by the UAE itself. What is happening to the Sudanese people is a tragedy.

Nobody cares. White people and Jews aren't involved. The morality mob can't choose a side when both are people of colour. And if they can't choose a side and a put a flag on their social media profile, then what's the point? There's no clout or affirmation for them. Hint - most of the Palestine supporters don't actually give a fuck about you, mate, or your people. If they did, why weren't they putting your flag on their social media in say, 2021?

You are a huge loser

Do people frame Ukraine and Russia as “Christians killing Christians”?

No, because there are more to these conflicts than the religions of the people involved.

This is obvious to anyone but the dumbest fucking people. Even Israel/Palestine should not be viewed as a “religious conflict” because it’s not “Jews” killing “Muslims” it’s the state of Israel murdering Palestinians and stealing their land. Israel is also murdering Christians and everyone else they want to take land from.

AI Overview

The perceived global indifference to the ongoing conflict and potential genocide in Sudan stems from a complex mix of geopolitical, media-related, and socio-psychological factors. The crisis, which began in April 2023 between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), has created the world's largest humanitarian disaster, but several factors combine to keep it from the forefront of global attention.
Key reasons for the lack of attention include:

• Media Accessibility and Fatigue: The conflict zone is extremely dangerous and difficult for international journalists to access, leading to limited on-the-ground reporting. Additionally, the public has experienced "compassion fatigue" from a constant cycle of global crises, including those in Ukraine and Gaza, making it harder for a new, complex emergency to sustain media coverage and public interest.
• Geopolitical Disinterest: Sudan is not a central strategic priority for major world powers in terms of trade routes, energy corridors, or specific alliances, reducing the incentive for significant political intervention. While some regional actors and Middle Eastern states are involved (e.g., the UAE and Egypt are accused of supplying weapons to different sides), Western governments have been largely disengaged.
• Complexity of the Conflict: The war involves numerous internal ethnic, tribal, and political factions, which does not lend itself to a simple "oppressor vs. oppressed" narrative that is often easier for the public and media to understand and rally behind.
• Racial Bias and Indifference: Some analysts and survivors point to a racial empathy bias, suggesting that the world is less likely to feel empathy for the pain experienced by Black people and the conflict is a reflection of a dismissive attitude toward African crises.
• Lack of Political Will: The international community has been criticized for a lack of political will to intervene or enforce existing measures, such as a 2004 UN arms embargo in Darfur. International bodies like the UN and the African Union have been slow to act or are perceived as paralyzed, despite repeated warnings from experts and aid organizations like Doctors Without Borders (MSF).
• Competing Crises: The focus on other high-profile conflicts, such as the war in Gaza, has diverted attention and resources that might otherwise have gone to Sudan.

Organizations like Human Rights Watch and the UN have raised the alarm about widespread killings, sexual violence, and ethnic cleansing, particularly in the Darfur region, and the International Criminal Court is conducting an ongoing investigation into alleged war crimes. However, these calls for action have largely been met with international inaction, leading to the conflict being labeled the "world's most neglected crisis".

Way to miss the point…

I mean, virtue signalers care so much about Russia Ukraine and Gaza that they put little flags in their profile.

And how many billions have been sent to Ukraine?

The world is sitting back and just watching people murder each other in Sudan

Well, except for the UAE. They’re helping one side murder more efficiently

 

[Satur9]

Seeing the devastation is mind-numbingly horrible. I hope it somehow stops.

That said... We have a habit of bungling every situation we try and "help" in. I can't see how this would be any different. We will choose a side, help the other side out, and then the Sudan will still be full of Sudanese folks, many of whom we were fighting against... Goodbye money, time, and effort. And for what? Some brownie points with some, and hate from others... No-win situation.

Sudanese army captures town in North Kordofan after clashes with paramilitary RSF​

The Sudanese army recaptured a town in North Kordofan state from the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), local sources told Anadolu on Monday.

The sources said that army forces seized Um Sayala town, 200 kilometers north of the provincial capital El-Obeid, following fierce clashes with RSF militants.

Army soldiers shared on social media platforms videos showing them while entering the town.

There was no immediate comment from the army or the RSF on the report.

The latest takeover comes after the Sudanese army restored its authority over the Umm Dham Haj Ahmad and Kazgil areas in North Kordofan.

Heavy clashes also raged on between the army and the rebel group in Babnousa, the economic hub of North Kordofan and home to a major railway station.

Following the RSF seizure of El-Fasher, the capital of North Darfur, last month, fighting between the rebel group and the Sudanese army spread to new fronts, particularly to the Kordofan region in central and southern Sudan.

The rebel group controls all five Darfur states, out of Sudan’s 18 states, while the army holds most of the remaining 13 states, including Khartoum.
Darfur makes up about one-fifth of Sudan’s territory, but most of the country’s 50 million people live in army-held areas.

The conflict in Sudan between the army and the RSF, which began in April 2023, has killed at least 40,000 people and displaced 12 million, according to the World Health Organization.

No wonder South Sudan split.

 

[Sinister]

This gives pretty good details of the conflict and its origins. Dumbing it down to "Arabs killing non-Arabs" or "Muslims killing Muslims" is idiotic. The formation of their State is a relic from Colonialism, and there is a lot of outside meddling with Arab Countries funding both sides.

Why has Sudan descended into mass slaughter? The answer goes far beyond simple ethnic conflict

The civil war is often described as an ethnic or tribal conflict. But it’s more complicated than that.

I don't see AI a problem when they share rational and worthwhile information. It's a tool to be used if used correctly.

I understand your frustration with AI, but it is the reality of things and if you use it wisely all the better to you. Like any tool.

Alaa Busati, lawyer: 'The war in Sudan is fueled by the insatiable greed of those who profit from it'​

The conflict, in which 160,000 people have died to date, would already be over if the international community had imposed sanctions and enacted embargoes against the countries funding and arming both sides, argues Sudanese lawyer and asylum-seeker Alaa Busati.

As the war in Sudan enters its fourth year, the cacophony of violence, devastation, and deliberate neglect continues to ravage the nation, precipitating the world's most egregious humanitarian catastrophe. Out of 44 million inhabitants, a quarter were displaced by the conflict or forced to seek asylum in neighboring countries. Over 25 million people languish in desperation, forced to subsist on the most meager of resources, including dry animal hides and tree bark.

The scourge of war has reduced villages to smouldering ruins. Entire ethnic groups are being systematically eradicated. The amplitude of the war is incalculable. The only estimates available count at least 160,000 deaths, but the reality could be grimmer. Women are subjected to the most heinous forms of brutality, including crucifixion, rape, and forced servitude.

This conflagration was not an unforeseen calamity; rather, it was a preventable catastrophe that was allowed to fester, fueled by the insatiable greed of those who profit from its perpetuation. The Sudanese people have been held hostage by the tentacles of colonialism for far too long, with many revolutions failing to dislodge the entrenched interests of the ruling elite.

Since independence in 1956, the Sudanese people have been ruled by agents of colonialism, and the country's history has witnessed six revolutions against generals who ruled to preserve colonial interests in exchange for arms and power. The country's vast resources – including oil, gold, minerals, gum arabic, and agricultural and animal wealth – have only triggered crises. They have brought no prosperity to the population.

International inaction​

The 2018 revolution, which saw a whole generation of young Sudanese take to the streets demanding freedom, peace, and justice, was a fleeting moment of hope. Omar al-Bashir's regime, which had ruled with an iron fist for 30 years, was finally toppled, but the transitional period was cruelly truncated. The military-civilian divide soon reasserted itself, with Generals Burhan and "Hemedti" [Mohammed Hamdan Dagalo] orchestrating a coup that imprisoned the prime minister and his cabinet and imposed a state of emergency. The international community's response was woefully inadequate, with the United Nations Security Council conspicuously failing to condemn the coup and wishfully thinking negotiation was possible with warlords.

The revolutionaries, however, refused to be silenced, sustaining their pressure through demonstrations, strikes, and civil disobedience. The conflict eventually erupted anew, pitting the army against the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in a brutal war that has ravaged the nation since April 15, 2023. As revolutionaries, we knew from the first day of the coup that the international community's delay in condemning it would be the beginning of the neocolonialism scenario to divide the country and drag it into a situation similar to Libya, Somalia, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where various global powers push to fragment the country into mini-states managed by generals in a state of "no peace, no war," making it easy to exploit its resources.

It pleases the global media to describe what is happening in Sudan as the forgotten war, with a kind of cold racism that normalizes the pain and suffering of an entire people and ignores crimes, dignity, and humanity. Portraying the Sudanese war as a civil war happening in the remote jungles of Africa that can be forgotten only leads to tragedies like the fall of El-Fasher.

The RSF gained significant military strength and became a parallel force to the Sudanese army after being indirectly funded and indirectly employed by the European Union to curb illegal migration (within the framework of the Khartoum process established in 2014), by Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates recruiting Sudanese paramilitaries to fight their war in Yemen, and now mainly by Abu Dhabi, which is arming the RSF in exchange for tons of gold being extracted from Sudanese lands.

Gold exports​

The truth is that throughout the three years of war, the export of Sudanese gold has continued unabated through the UAE, which serves as a pivotal hub and intermediary, facilitating the transfer of arms and the trafficking of illicit gold between Europe and Africa. Meanwhile, global companies have maintained access to Sudanese gum arabic, which accounts for 90% of the global market.

This war is a resource war and a colonial war, fought with Chinese, Russian, French, Bulgarian, British, Canadian, Spanish, Turkish and Iranian arms, and financed by global corporations. Meanwhile, the UN Security Council drags its feet on taking decisive action, and the World Food Programme reduces aid allocations to Sudan, where the largest famine in half a century is unfolding.
In Sudan, advocating for peace has become a crime, and those calling for an end to the war are being pursued, even outside the country, and denied essential documents. Those inside the country are being quietly hunted, and the voice of peace has become faint and unheard.

Both parties to the conflict have committed numerous crimes and atrocities against civilians, exploiting the international community's complicit silence and enjoying impunity. Both sides are deeply entrenched in business, selling gold and buying silence.
With international organizations having left the country and media coverage scarce, the revolutionary resistance committees have transformed into emergency rooms, providing food and medical care to growing numbers of people and documenting the atrocities. Atrocities and horrors that can be halted by exerting pressure, imposing sanctions, and enforcing embargoes on those who benefit from this conflict and those who fund its factions.
We, as the revolution generation, will keep shouting: What happened in El-Fasher could have been averted, and it's still possible to prevent further tragedies in El Obeid and Kadugli, which are currently under siege. We are ready to provide evidence and we are committed to peace and justice. The question remains: Is the international community interested?

Yeah, this is some of the worst shit going on in the world, but no one pays attention because there is no Jew-Islam conflict.

Why would anyone care about Africans killing each other? Nothing to shout from your rooftop about that anyone will hear. No Tik Tok trends, no college protests. No viral opinion videos anyone will watch. No opportunities for virtue signaling.

Who cares?

You also don't see anyone defending this slaughter like they defend the slaughter of Palestinians by Israelis. Not really anyone to argue with, everyone agrees this is horrible, so no real debate to be had that draws attention.

This slaughter isn't being funded and supplied by US tax dollars either.

It's almost like the two conflicts have absolutely nothing to do with each other.
