#1 Its a good bet that very very few of the dead are Arabs. The Sudan Armed Forces is led by inept Arab officers and manned by men from the numerous ethnic minorities found in Sudan.

#2 Background information from the Sudan Tribune:

[Rapid Support] forces operate as an arm for the security service that replaced the Sudanese armed forces (SAF) which the National Congress Party (NCP) regime has increasing doubts about their loyalty, sincerity and obviously has no full trust in it.

The RSF Commander Major General Abbas Abdul-Aziz said in a televised statement that the majority of the members in the (RSF/Rapid Respond Force) are Darfurians who usually adored military service and love engaging in the armed forces. That formal statement of the Major General Abdul-Aziz confirms that the constitution of the RSF formed essentially by the infamous Janjaweed militias.

By the way this Major General Abbas Abdul-Aziz is from the town of Matamma, in the Northern Nilotic region. He is a person entrusted by Omer al-Bashir as a close relative. Furthermore, Abdul-Aziz is a [National Intelligence and Security Services] officer and his leadership for the RSF is more ceremonial.
