Life has become unbearable for countless households, innocent children and women since the outbreak of the conflict in Sudan arising from such factors as competition for resources, political instability, economic disparities, tribal and ethnic tensions.
With the situation worsening day by day, ethnically based attacks and rape of women and children spikes in the Sudan conflict.
Speaking with the press today , Richard Goldberg, of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, said, “An Arab paramilitary group is carrying out a genocide in Sudan with mass killings of minorities and corpses spread across streets.
There’s little media coverage, and relief agencies battle to get into the world’s spotlight so they can supplement funds, which at the same time are diminishing.
The World Food Program (WFP) has delivered food to over 3 million people in Sudan “in very difficult circumstances” since the start of the conflict. A WFP spokesperson told Fox News Digital, “Our humanitarian dollar is being stretched to the breaking point. Across the board, the gulf between humanitarian needs and funding available to respond has grown steadily.”
The cause of the war, although complex, has always remained a dispute between non-Arab farmers and the Arab-nomadic herders over land and water resources, historical marginalisation and political leadership particularity.
Since 2003, with the war Involving various ethnic groups like the Zaghawa, Fur, and Masalit tribe against the Arab militiamen, Darfur (the western region of Sudan) has faced great loss of human lives and properties and is currently in dire need of humanitarian rescue.
According to U.N, a minimum of 5.6 million people have been driven from their homes, a further 25 million need aid and some 9,000 have been killed in Sudan since the latest conflict began earlier this year, according to the U.N.
The Sudanese government, since the beginning of the conflict, has been accused of human rights violation after its first response with force to the two Sudanese armed ‘rebel’ political movement groups SLM and JEM; and other human rights abuses by the government’s militia.
The Sudanese Liberation Movement (SLM) and the Justice and Equity Movement (JEM) are strongly demanding for more political representation and economic development from the Arab-dominated government of Sudan which has seemed to favour only the Arab communities.
In view of the unrelenting mass gathering of pro-palestinian protesters in London Goldberg, a member of former President Donald Trump’s National Security Council, said in a media address that, “There’s no mob outside the White House to stop the indiscriminate killing of thousands in Sudan. These extremists only seem to get agitated by Jews who lawfully defend themselves from further mass slaughter.”
Another source on ground confirmed that the issue of rape and all form of abuses by the sudanese militia (RSF) continues and has become a common experience for every woman, including under age young girls, in Darfur. “Two of them took turns on me while the third one assaulted my sister,” revealed a helpless 21-year-old woman in an interview, who was with her 10-year-old sister in Darfur when she seized by 5 young men of RSF militia.

Coming from a Sudan researcher, Eric Reeves said, “the situation throughout Sudan is catastrophic, with massive destruction, death, and what may be the largest humanitarian crisis in the world.”
The RSF in particular is wildly undisciplined and violently out of control. They are the worst sort of barbarians.”
However, the State Department spokesperson has said in a press that. “The Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) need to deescalate and engage in meaningful discussions that lead to a cease-fire and unhindered humanitarian access.”
The U.S. officially welcomed the recent resumption of talks in Jeddah, co-facilitated by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the U.S. and the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD), and has called “for the parties to immediately end the fighting in Sudan and for the SAF and RSF to silence the guns,” he also disclosed.
