Mass Killings Reported in Sudan as RSF Seizes El Fasher; 460 Killed at Hospital

Sudan's military is accusing the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces of killing at least 2,000 people since seizing control of El Fasher in the Darfur region, including some 460 at the Saudi Maternity Hospital. Meanwhile, tens of thousands have fled.

"What's happening is no less than a … campaign of destruction and annihilation," says Mathilde Vu, Sudan advocacy manager at the Norwegian Refugee Council, speaking to Democracy Now! from Kenya.

What's unfolding in El Fasher is "the sum of all our fears," adds Nathaniel Raymond, executive director of the Humanitarian Research Lab at the Yale School of Public Health. He urges the United States to put pressure on the United Arab Emirates, which has backed the RSF in the civil war as the group carries out "acts that are tantamount to genocide."

1. This is some awful shit

I have a student this semester from Sudan. She is having a very difficult time concentrating on her school work (and probably everything else) due to what is happening in her country. Maybe Trump can get right on this since he is batting 8-for-8 with peace deals.
