"Genocide resumes," reads this weekend's cover of @thecontinent newspaper, as El Fasher finally falls after a 500+ day siege by the Rapid Support Forces in Sudan.
The RSF, long implicated in genocidal violence in Darfur dating back to the days of its predecessor the Janjaweed back in 2004, have been on a deadly rampage killing thousands in recent days. Sudanese activists had been warning for over a year of what could happen if they were to overrun El Fasher. The disaster is now unfolding.

The RSF have been linked to brutal genocidal violence against non-Arab ethnicities in Darfur by credible intl human rights organizations, Sudanese journalists and even the US State Department. Their involvement in sexual violence, massacres & ethnic cleansing is well documented. Despite this, every prominent diplomatic gathering, which pledges to draw solutions for ending the war, continues to involve the presence of the UAE, a direct financier of the RSF and a complicit party in the bloodshed.
