Sudan's West Darfur - Crimes against humanity are being committed, including torture, rape and looting by UAE backed RSF militia

Human Rights Watch has released a new report calling the situation in Sudan's West Darfur state one of ethnic cleansing -- and says crimes against humanity are being committed, including torture, rape and looting.

It's found that attacks by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces and its allied armed groups in el-Geneina, the capital of West Darfur State, have killed thousands of people and displaced hundreds of thousands as refugees. In response - the NGO is calling on the United Nations and the African Union to 'urgently impose an arms embargo on Sudan, sanction those responsible for serious crimes and deploy a mission to protect civilians.' Alan Boswell is Horn of Africa director at the International Crisis Group. He says the international community has to act to prevent further atrocities from taking place.

Crisis in Sudan Escalates Hunger Issues in Kids

The crisis engulfing Sudan has precipitated a dire humanitarian emergency. Moreover, the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) is sounding the alarm over soaring hunger and malnutrition rates affecting millions across Sudan, South Sudan, and Chad.  

A Regional Humanitarian Emergency

Sudan's conflict has catalyzed the world's most significant displacement crisis, with weekly waves of families fleeing to neighboring South Sudan and Chad. Additionally, Michael Dunford, WFP’s Regional Director for Eastern Africa, highlighted the grim reality faced by those crossing borders: children and women, hungry and resourceless.   Soaring Hunger and Malnutrition In Sudan alone, 18 million people are acutely food insecure, and 3.8 million children under five are malnourished, many trapped in conflict zones. Furthermore, the situation is deteriorating rapidly, with those able to flee exacerbating the already critical humanitarian conditions in South Sudan and Chad.  

The Impact on Host Countries

South Sudan is witnessing a surge in malnutrition among children in transit camps. Moreover, the lack of resources and prolonged stays are making malnutrition increasingly prevalent. The WFP reports a staggering increase in malnutrition rates, with 25 percent of children in the Renk transit center near the Sudanese border suffering upon arrival.   Chad's Growing Crisis In Chad, over half a million Sudanese refugees have sought shelter. Additionally, 40 percent of refugee children in emergency clinics suffer from acute malnutrition. The influx has stretched humanitarian resources thin, forcing WFP to prioritize new arrivals and leave long-term refugees without assistance.  

Urgent Call for International Support

As the lean season approaches, the WFP warns of a looming hunger catastrophe unless the conflict is resolved, humanitarian access is granted, and crucial funding is secured. The agency faces a nearly US$300 million funding shortfall for the next six months, underscoring the urgent need for international intervention.   A Plea for Peace and Aid Dunford emphasizes the necessity of resolving the conflict and providing comprehensive support to affected families to prevent the crisis from devolving into a full-blown hunger disaster. The international community's swift action is crucial to addressing the immediate needs and averting further suffering.  

Conclusion

The crisis in Sudan has set off a chain reaction of displacement, hunger, and malnutrition that threatens to engulf the region. Additionally, with millions at risk and humanitarian agencies like WFP struggling to bridge a significant funding gap, the international community's immediate and concerted effort is vital to mitigate the unfolding humanitarian disaster and support the vulnerable populations across Sudan, South Sudan, and Chad.   Sources: THX News & World Food Programme.

UK Ambassador Calls for Justice Amidst the Sudan Crisis

  In a Passionate Appeal

In a passionate address to the United Nations, UK Human Rights Ambassador, Rita French, took a strong stance against the Sudanese Armed Forces and Rapid Support Forces, condemning their actions for dragging Sudan into an unjustified war that has devastated the nation. The ambassador expressed deep concern for the Sudanese people, whose wishes had been utterly disregarded amidst the turmoil.   Horrific Attacks on Civilians French emphasized the gravity of the situation, particularly in Khartoum and Darfur, where targeted and indiscriminate use of force against civilians has resulted in horrific consequences.  

Pursuing Justice with International Support

With a commitment to justice, Ambassador French pledged to collaborate with international partners to bring all parties involved in these heinous crimes to account for their actions. The scale of the crisis is staggering, with thousands dead, 4.8 million displaced, and half of the population requiring humanitarian assistance. Despite this dire need, bureaucratic obstacles have plagued the delivery of life-saving supplies to those affected, a situation that is hard to believe.   A Plea for Ceasefire Ambassador French asserted that there is no military solution to the Sudan crisis and urged all parties involved to recognize this fact. She emphasized that every day without a ceasefire agreement provides further evidence that the conflict arises from power, ego, and greed, at the expense of the rights and lives of the Sudanese people.  

The World's Watchful Eye

In conclusion, Ambassador French emphasized that the international community closely monitors the situation in Sudan, especially in Darfur. She committed unwaveringly to ensure credible investigations and accountability, confronting those who have enjoyed decades-long impunity while claiming to lead Sudan. The call for justice resounds, echoing the voices of those who have suffered in the shadow of this ongoing crisis. Meanwhile, as the world grapples with the consequences of Sudan's turmoil, the question lingers: Will justice prevail in a nation torn apart by war, or will the Sudanese people's cries continue to go unheard?   Sources: THX News, Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office & Rita French.
