Ethnic violence in Sudan raises genocide alarm as war rages on

Al Jazeera  

Activists and observers have warned that unchecked violence could prove worse than Darfur’s previous cycle of killings. The rapidly rising levels of ethnic violence in Sudan are raising alarm about genocide as fierce fighting between warring generals of the Sudanese Armed Forces and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces nears the end of its second month. There have been numerous reports in recent days of intensifying violence in Sudan’s West Darfur region, which has previously seen decades of killings based on ethnicity. Local activists say that at least 1,100 people have been killed and more wounded during attacks in el-Geneina that began in late April, shortly after the start of the war between forces led by army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and RSF commander Mohamed Hamdan “Hemedti” Dagalo. After al-Burhan declared Volker Perthes, the head of the UN mission to Sudan “persona non grata” last week, Hemedti said in a statement he fully supports the work done by Volker and other international stakeholders, a move seen as aiming to boost the RSF’s international credibility.
