Arab-led Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have been forcibly expelling the ethnic-African Masalit tribe from West Darfur, resulting in mass killings and injuries. Survivors describe harrowing stories of attacks, with hundreds of Masalit community members killed. The RSF and allied Arab militias have been accused of ethnically motivated violence, targeting mostly men and older boys from the Masalit community. The conflict has resulted in over 9,000 deaths and 5.6 million displacements in Sudan, raising fears of a possible partition of the country. Despite the Darfur genocide 20 years ago, no one has been brought to justice, and the Masalit tribe is now facing renewed attacks, with male children being targeted for killings. The situation has been described as 'unimaginable horror' by Amnesty International. The conflict's complexities have been highlighted in in-depth coverage by BTnewsroom.
