The Sudanese paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has stepped up its attacks on the  Zamzam refugee camp near el-Fasher, capital of the North Darfur state. On Friday, residents and medics said the RSF attacked the camp, which it surrounded three times within a week. At least seven people were killed in the camp this week, Doctors Without Borders, known by its French initials MSF, said, adding that medics were unable to perform surgeries in Zamzam. Stephane Dujarric, spokesperson for the United Nations secretary-general, said the renewed fighting included the use of heavy weapons and urged the warring parties to stop the violence. The RSF is said to be trying to tighten its grip on its Darfur stronghold, losing ground to the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) in the capital, Khartoum.

Jess Craig at Vox:

After more than a year of neglect from global leaders and massive funding gaps for humanitarian assistance, the war in Sudan has reached a critical tipping point. Warring parties are waging a deadly battle for control of El Fasher — the capital of the state of North Darfur and, until recently, one of the last safe havens for civilians. If the city falls, experts warn there will be dire human rights consequences, ranging from ethnic cleansing to outright genocide for millions of people.

What’s happening in El Fasher is just the latest in the year-long conflict between two rivaling military groups struggling for power after working together to oust Sudan’s former president and his successor. General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, the general of the country’s military, known as the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF), became the de facto ruler of Sudan in 2021 — but tensions with his temporary ally, the paramilitary group known as the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), soon boiled over as the leaders attempted to integrate the RSF into the SAF. This tension grew into a civil war last year, one that has created the world’s largest displacement crisis: On Monday, the United Nations told the AP that more than 10 million people — about a quarter of the population — have already been internally displaced since the war began. The SAF and RSF have clashed sporadically in El Fasher, which is the government military’s last foothold in all of western Sudan, but the town has largely been spared the worst of the war until recent weeks. That changed on the morning of May 10, when heavy fighting between the two groups broke out. Near daily bombings, indiscriminate shelling, and airstrikes have rocked the city since. More than 1,000 civilians have been injured and 206 people have died, according to Claire Nicolet, the emergency program manager at Médecins Sans Frontières. Hospitals and camps for internally displaced people have been damaged by gunfire and explosions. Very few aid convoys carrying food and health supplies have reached the estimated 2 million civilians in the city. 

As RSF has expanded its control of other towns in Darfur over the course of the war, they have resorted to ethnic targeting and brutal violence against civilians, including raping, torturing, and killing non-Arab civilians and using racial slurs against them, as Human Rights Watch has documented. Human rights experts are concerned that if El Fasher falls to the RSF, it might trigger a new wave of ethnic cleansing, reminiscent of the genocide that occurred in Darfur in the early 2000s when some 200,000 non-Arab civilians were killed by Janjaweed militias and government forces. The RSF evolved from the Janjaweed militia, an Arab-majority fighting force created by the former president to fight Darfuris in the mid-1980s. 

Although the current war between RSF and SAF is more of a power struggle than a sectarian one, ethnic tensions have long simmered in Darfur since the genocide, Akshaya Kumar, the director of crisis advocacy at Human Rights Watch, explained. If RSF gains the upper hand, they will control the entire Darfur region where most non-Arab communities reside.  The situation is all too familiar. As it was in 2003, the crisis teeters on the brink of famine and genocide. And as was the case then, the world’s worst humanitarian crisis remains unconscionably neglected by the foreign governments and international bodies that have the power to intervene to push for a peaceful resolution or to urge the warring parties to respect international humanitarian law. In the coming months, the humanitarian and human rights situation in Darfur and across Sudan may be finally too harrowing to ignore, but by that point, it may be too late to do anything about it.

Vox takes a look at the vastly under-covered story of the Darfur Genocide and the battle for control of El Fasher in Sudan.

The Gaza health ministry said Israeli forces are stealing organs from the bodies of people killed in field executions.

Speaking to Al Jazeera, Dr. Ashraf A-Qudra, the spokesperson for the Gaza Health Ministry, said up to 100 bodies at a time are often returned to Gaza from lsrael and buried without being identified, which he said is devastating for families who do not know the fate of their missing relatives.

A-Qudra said bodies are taken from Gaza to an unknown location in Israel, where their organs are stolen or their bodies are used for medical research. The bodies are then returned to Gaza either decomposed or missing organs.

Support Sudanese Refugees in Tawila

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by مدثر زين العابدين | MODATHIR (@modathirzainalabdeen)

As modathirzainalabdeen explained in his video, Tawila is an isolated town in Sudan's North Darfur state under control of Sudan's Liberated Army, a faction independent of the SAF and RSF. Tawila was already facing famine in September, and now resources have been stretched even thinner with a new wave of refugees arriving from El Fashir after the RSF's attacks on Zamzam camp. Over 800 families have arrived in the past 2 weeks.

Hope and Haven for Refugees (aka Saving AlGeneina) and Basmat Wasl are two groups who are working to support the people sheltering in Tawila. They are providing life saving aid to combat famine, disease, and create shelters. Please support their efforts if you're able.

Nearly 230,000 women and children are projected to die from hunger in Sudan in the coming months.

Now more than ever it is incredibly important to support community aid kitchens doing vital work on the ground.
