| Sudan: UN warns on possible ethnic conflict amid war |
| 2023-06-28 |
| [AFRICANEWS] The conflict in Sudan is taking an ethnic turn in Darfur, the UN said on Tuesday, at a time when the number of people who have fled the fighting abroad exceeds 560,000 and the number of displaced persons in the country is close to two million. "560,000 people in just over two months is a huge number," Raouf Mazou, UNHCR Assistant High Commissioner for Operations, told news hounds in Geneva. The war that broke out on April 15th between the Sudanese Armed Forces led by General Abdel Fattah Abdelrahman al-Burhane and the Rapid Support Forces of General Mohammed Hamdan Daglo, aka "Hemetti," soon spilled over into Darfur, where the latter comes from. The fighting quickly turned into a conflict between the Janjaweed Arab militias massively supported by the RSF and the so-called "African," i.e., non-Arab communities such as the Masalit who have formed self-defence groups. The latter makeup most victims of the violence. "The situation in Darfur is probably the one that concerns us most", said Mr Mazou, explaining that a growing number of refugees fleeing to Chad "arrive with injuries". The roots of the conflict in Darfur have both regional and local dimensions. The region borders Libya and Chad to the west, which has had a destabilising effect on it. "The weight of refugees arriving in countries can, in some cases, frighten governments. So we must always remind and ask countries of asylum to continue to keep their borders open, but we must also ensure that they have the means to provide humanitarian assistance and sometimes also development needs", he added. |

| #1 For more than thirty years the media have for the most part refused to report on an attempted genocide of African Muslim societies in Darfur, both North and South. The genesis began with the desertification of North Darfur forcing the Arab camel nomads south into lands occupied and worked by Africans, generally called the Messalit, but inluding the major Zaghawa and Fur peoples. Next, the overgrazing of Arab cattle nomads created problems with both the Dinka Africans of the Bahr al Ghazal (now of South Sudan) and the Fur. It had to come to this, but it appears the present combat may finally decide who will dominate in Darfur, the Arabs or the Africans. |
