Sudan crisis: Everything is burned in Darfur

 

Over the years, the Darfur region in Sudan has experienced complex conflict marked by bloodshed, displacement, and violations of human rights. Darfur's crisis started in 2003 when various rebel factions started a bloody fight with the Sudanese government.

Multiple parties were involved in the fighting, including government forces, insurgent organizations, and militias that were supported by the government.

Millions of people in the Darfur region have been displaced. Reportedly, there has been extensive destruction, and many people have died as a result of the conflict. For people in the Darfur region, it has been a tragic and protracted crisis that has resulted in great suffering.

Recently, entire villages in Sudan's West Darfur region have been burned by the militias. Various aid agencies claimed that the region is on the brink of a “humanitarian catastrophe.”

People are unable to access food, clean water, and medicine. Widespread looting by militias has also affected the region.

In recent weeks, the fighting has continued in Darfur between the Sudanese army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF). The fighting has plunged the region into a crisis.

According to the BBC, a village near Nyala in South Darfur, Abu Adam, has been completely destroyed by militias. Essa Daffallah, a local journalist, told BBC, "The RSF stormed the city with dozens of pickup trucks mounted with guns, and a large number of motorbikes. NGO offices and shops were looted.”

The journalist claimed that 600,000 internally displaced people have received no support or aid for 40 days because of the ongoing fighting between the two Sudanese rivals.

The conflict in Sudan started in mid-April between the Sudanese military and the RSF. The Sudanese Armed Forces controlled by General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) led by Lieutenant General Mohamed Hamdan started the fight to take control of the country.
