Etnische zuiveringen in Darfur #2

quote:

A month later, the R.S.F. began to circle the city with the giant earthen berm, according to satellite images published by the Yale School of Public Health. On Aug. 27, construction to extend the berm was continuing.
...
Young men attempting to flee the city, scrambling over the berm at night, have been executed by fighters, Mr. Khater said.
...
Rape is commonplace. The hospital treats about 40 sexual assault victims every week, but anecdotal evidence suggests “that is nothing compared to the true rate,” Mr. Penicaud said.

quote:

Yet aid has not entered for nearly 18 months. The reason, according to leaked documents, intelligence sources and senior UN officials, raises profound questions over the international community’s priorities.

The evidence indicates a key US and UK ally intervened to effectively derail lifesaving humanitarian aid entering El Fasher.

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) intruded at a critical stage; hundreds of children are believed to have since died from starvation in the city.

quote:

Selon des volontaires locaux d’el-Fasher — connus sous le nom de Comité de résistance - 90 personnes, dont 77 enfants sont décédés, ces cinq dernières semaines, par manque de nourriture.

According to local volunteers in El Fasher—known as the Resistance Committee—90 people, including 77 children, have died in the past five weeks from lack of food.

Those chats have become a waking nightmare, with posts about members taken captive and even killed.

Some friends are finding out their loved ones are dead through videos of executions on social media.

Urgent | Al Fasher Resistance Committees Coordination: All the wounded and injured inside the "Saudi Hospital," the "First Class" wards, the "University," and the "Interior Ministry" were all liquidated by the Rapid Support Forces militia in horrific ways. They were killed while they were between life and death, at a time when humanity no longer has a place.

quote:

Pro-democracy groups described "the worst violence and ethnic cleansing" since Sunday as the army-allied Joint Forces accused the RSF of killing over 2,000 civilians.

The UN said more than 26,000 fled El-Fasher in just two days, most on foot towards Tawila, 70 kilometres west.

Some survivors, among those arriving traumatised and injured in Tawila, told AFP of "scenes of genocide".

- 'Rwanda-level' -

"We're watching Rwanda-level mass extermination of people who are trapped inside," said Nathaniel Raymond, a US war investigator and executive director of Yale University's Humanitarian Research Lab (HRL).
...
Around 177,000 civilians remain trapped in El-Fasher, according to the UN's migration agency, after the RSF built a 35-mile (56 kilometre) earthen berm sealing off food, medicine and escape routes.

quote:

Pro-democracy activists also accused the RSF of executing all wounded people receiving treatment at the Saudi Hospital in el-Fasher. Satellite analysis by Yale's HRL revealed door-to-door killings, mass graves, red patches and bodies visible on the city's berm, consistent with eyewitness accounts.

This photo from inside #Elfasher Hospital needs no explanation only a conscience in this world willing to see it.

After the bombing that targeted the shelter at Omdurman Islamic University by the RSF, the death toll has risen to 57 displaced people, including 22 women and 17 children.
The two children in the photo lost both of their parents yesterday and are now waiting for their grandmother, who is fighting for her life after being injured in the same attack, which led to the amputation of her left hand.

This tragedy is not an isolated incident, but part of a pattern of ongoing killing and suffering inside a city that has been under siege for months.
In El Fasher, death has become a daily headline, and the survivors continue to live without water, food, or safety.

What is happening in El Fasher is not just a war, but a full-scale humanitarian catastrophe, a looming social genocide where civilians are targeted simply for being alive.
Yet, the world remains horrifically silent.

What is needed now is not more statements of sympathy, but real action to stop the bombing,to deliver food and medicine,
and to hold those responsible for these crimes accountable

Some survivors have staggered into a refugee camp about 64km away in the town of Tawila.

More than 62,000 people are believed to have fled el-Fasher between Sunday and Wednesday, the UN migration agency said.

But far fewer have made it to Tawila.

The Norwegian Refugee Council, which manages the camp, put the number at around 5,000 people, raising fears over the fate of tens of thousands.

Ik snap nog steeds niet hoe dat zit met de RSF. Hebben ze überhaupt een aanhang? Want het lijkt wel alsof letterlijk iedereen ze haat; behalve dus hun sponsoren uit de VAE. Is dat ook zo, of hebben ze a la ISIS toch een hoop aanhangers?

Zelfs de VAE bedenkt zich nu.

Wie regelt het leiderschap, de organisatie, de politieke ideologie, de training en de wapens? Het gaat hier om extreem arme mensen die bezig zijn met basaal overleven. Het conflict zou iets kunnen zijn waarin de weinig effectieve Afrikaanse Unie zich eens nuttig zou kunnen tonen en daarmee haar bestaansrecht zou kunnen versterken, maar van die kant blijft het oorverdovend stil. Faalhazen.

quote:

According to soldiers, commanders, and a telecom technician who spoke to Dark Box, the sudden loss of all communications systems on 26 October caused total disarray among Sudanese defenders and Joint Forces aligned with the army. Units became isolated, commands went unheard, and withdrawal orders failed to reach front-line troops, many of whom died unaware they had been abandoned.
...
Exclusive testimonies obtained by Dark Box confirm that the blackout was caused by electronic jamming systems deployed by the RSF, but supplied, funded, and trained on by the UAE.

In particular, the RSF used Chinese-manufactured jamming devices, including the Wolves Team drone jammers and backpack-mounted Norinco multi-band jamming systems. These devices are capable of blocking a wide array of frequencies, including those used by satellite phones and shortwave radios.

One RSF fighter was photographed with a Wolves Team system mounted on a technical vehicle. Another image shows an RSF member carrying what appears to be a Chinese-made backpack jammer. Experts consulted by Dark Box confirm that these models can jam frequencies used by Thuraya satellite systems — themselves a product of a UAE-based company — and interfere with low-orbit satellite connections like Starlink.

Sur les plus de 70 000 personnes qui ont fui les massacres à El-Fasher, selon l’Organisation internationale pour les migrations (OIM), moins de 10 000 sont parvenues à atteindre cette zone sous le contrôle du Mouvement de libération du Soudan, l’un des seuls groupes armés officiellement neutre dans le conflit qui ravage le pays depuis avril 2023. Près de 15 000 civils ont réussi à fuir vers le nord du Soudan et quelques milliers d’autres ont trouvé refuge à l’est du Darfour.

« Où sont passés tous les autres ? », s’interroge Iqbal (son prénom a été modifié), horrifiée. Tout juste arrivée à Tawila, cette mère a perdu la trace de ses sept enfants. Lorsque les FSR ont lancé leur ultime assaut, elle veillait sur l’un de ses fils à l’hôpital saoudien d’El-Fasher, où 460 patient·es ont été abattu·es deux jours plus tard par les paramilitaires, selon l’Organisation mondiale de la santé (OMS). Parvenue à s’enfuir de justesse, elle finit par cacher son fils blessé au milieu d’un bosquet d’arbustes pour qu’il échappe aux griffes des soldats. Arrêtée, elle est détenue pendant trois jours, avant d’être relâchée et de rejoindre Tawila, seule.

Ibtisam* said: “One of them forced me to go with them, cut my Jalabiya [a traditional robe], and raped me. When they left, my 14-year-old daughter came to me. I found that her clothes had blood and were cut into pieces. Her hair at the back of her head was full of dust.”

Ibtisam* told Amnesty International that her daughter remained silent for the next few hours until she saw her mother crying: “She came to me and said, ‘Mama, they raped me too, but do not tell anyone.’ After the rape, my daughter really became sick… When we reached Tawila, her health deteriorated, and she died at the clinic.”

quote:

“There is overwhelming evidence that women and children belonging to non-Arab communities in North Darfur, including the Zaghawa and the Fur, have been ethnically targeted and raped,” the experts added. “Reports also reveal a pattern of arbitrary detention and forced marriage of women and children for sexual exploitation. The exercise of ownership over victims in these contexts is indicative of sexual slavery.”

“We are appalled by the reported killing of SUNA bureau chief Taj al-Sir Ahmed Suleiman and his brother after RSF forces advanced into El-Fasher,” said CPJ Chief Programs Officer Carlos Martínez de la Serna. “Sudanese authorities must urgently investigate this killing and hold those responsible to account. All parties to the conflict must stop targeting journalists and civilians and immediately ensure the safety of members of the press.”
...
Since the war between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the RSF began in April 2023, CPJ has documented the killing of at least 15 journalists and media workers in Sudan. Journalists in the El-Fasher have faced abductions, disappearances, sexual violence, and deadly attacks amid a communications blackout and severe shortages of food, medical care, and safe shelter.

Fighting has intensified across the three states that make up Kordofan as the Sudanese army seeks to keep the rival Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and other groups away from a key road linking the capital Khartoum with the key Darfur region.
...
It added that since the RSF captured the Kordofan city of Bara on October 25, "the UN Human Rights Office has documented at least 269 civilian deaths from aerial strikes, artillery shelling, and summary executions."

It said toll was probably "much higher" as communications into the city was difficult. "There have also been reports of retaliatory killings, arbitrary detention, abductions, sexual violence and forced recruitment, including of children," Turk added. "It is truly shocking to see history repeating itself in Kordofan so soon after the horrific events in El Fasher," said Turk.

The statement highlighted a November 3 drone attack on a tent where mourners had gathered in El Obeid, North Kordofan, reportedly killing 45 people, mostly women. Another November 29 drone strike by the army in Kauda, South Kordofan "reportedly resulted in the deaths of at least 48 people.
