Isnt that just a civil war in sudan? I dont know much about it but i havent heard anything about intentions to wipe out a specific part of the population. It just seems like a bloody power struggle that forces people to flee.
My understanding is limited but from my current knowledge (which might be completely wrong):
The RSF is compromised of an Arab force backed by the UAE who are pretty racist and want to install an Arab superiority regime and are mass raping + murdering black people. They are 100% committing a Genocide.
The current Sudanese military (SAF) is backed by Iran (and maybe others). SAF also commit a lot of war crimes but seem to be more financially motivated. SAF seems more into the civil war thing than Genocide, but SAF soldiers are also raping and murdering civilians.
Both parties are bad but the RSF is super bad.
The RSF is the successor to the janjaweed militia, which carried out a genocide in Darfur just 20 years ago against non-Arab ethnic groups such as the Fur, Masalit, and Zaghawa. At the time, a mass movement emerged in the United States—led by the Save Darfur coalition, which comprised nearly 200 organizations—mobilizing worldwide protests and bringing out prominent celebrities, including then-Sen. Barack Obama and George Clooney, and demonstrators in the hundreds of thousands.
A powerful U.N. Security Council arms embargo, sanctions regime, and referral to the International Criminal Court ensued, resulting in the first—and only—arrest warrant for genocide against Sudanese leader Omar al-Bashir, while an eventual joint U.N.-African Union peacekeeping force was dispatched to the region; it was later withdrawn in 2021.
Our inquiry also concluded that the RSF is receiving direct military, financial, and diplomatic support from the United Arab Emirates. This finding is also backed by the U.N. Panel of Experts on Sudan, who found credible evidence of the UAE providing heavy weaponry to the RSF, as corroborated by further investigative reporting. In December 2023, a group of U.S. members of Congress sent a letter to the Emirati foreign minister urging an end to the UAE’s provision of military support to the RSF. This May, legislation was introduced to stop U.S. arms exports to the UAE until it ceases its support to the RSF.
Hey, a middle eastern here. UAE leaders are not backing the RSF for racist purposes, the sudanese army is equally arabic. They are backing the RSF atrocities and destabilizing the region, yielding resources in exchange from Sudan gold mines. They're also known for being a proxy for USA and Israel executing their plans in the region.
So a proxy war between UAE & Iran? I’m curious why the need for the superiority regime in Sudan 🤔 TY for sharing this! I’m definitely gonna dive in to some reading this weekend.
I think Iran joined in later by sending some drones, but their involvement seems a lot less than the UAE.
The UAE like Saudi Arabia hosts many American military bases and gets American weapons. But I'm still not sure if this is an American proxy war through the UAE or the UAE doing this by themselves.
The UAE does have a lot of sketchy stuff going on though they're looking a bit like a convenient black sheep: American mercenaries hired by UAE to kill in Yemen - BBC World Service Documentaries
Iran provides some support to SAF likely because Sudan is next to the Red Sea and they don't want Sudan to fall under control of a Western aligned regime.
Once again my knowledge of this conflict might be completely off this is just random stuff I picked up. Don't take anything in this comment as the truth.
Of course it’s the truth! I read it on the internet ;)
Can’t wait to dig into this!
Unfortunately many, if not most genocides are civil war actions.
Source?
History?
Ever heard of Darfur?
Also seems like this is an image from a few months ago:

Edit: when I made this comment, there were no comments appearing under yours, but apparently there are many 😅
Civil wars often lead to genocide. Even when the ethnic groups were made up by the Europeans.
