The situation in Sudan, particularly in the Darfur region, has escalated with multiple warnings of a potential large-scale massacre in the city of El Fasher, the capital of North Darfur. The U.S. has issued alerts about the imminent threat, emphasizing the severity of the crisis. Reports indicate that the conflict has been fueled by the actions of Sudan's Rapid Support Forces (RSF), formerly known as the Janjaweed, who are now threatening the city with a population of 1.8 million. The ongoing violence has already displaced 8.6 million people, making it one of the largest displacement crises globally. Additionally, there is a significant concern over the high levels of sexual violence, particularly affecting women and girls, which has been described as part of the broader humanitarian crisis in the region. Historical context reveals that similar violence in Darfur two decades ago resulted in up to 300,000 deaths. The UN has highlighted the 'intolerable toll' of such atrocities, urging an immediate cessation, while the UNFPA is actively providing life-saving care across the country.

Just because the Janjaweed have changed their name -- they now call themselves Sudan's Rapid Support Forces -- doesn't mean that they have changed their genocidal ways in Darfur. In a single city, 1.8 million people are now at risk. https://t.co/lY38EpoaCB
