Sudan’s Conflict Escalates With Genocide Accusations and Global Complicity

Sudanese civilians face atrocities as military factions and foreign powers fuel a 21-month war, with activists calling for accountability and systemic change.

The Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and Rapid Support Forces (RSF) continue their violent power struggle, resulting in widespread atrocities and a deepening humanitarian crisis.
The U.S. recently imposed sanctions on leaders of both factions and designated the RSF’s actions as genocide, but activists criticize these measures as insufficient and potentially harmful to civilians.
The SAF and its allied militias, including the Sudan Shield Forces, have been accused of war crimes, including the January 10 attack on Tayba village, which killed 26 civilians and involved looting and destruction.
The UAE’s documented support for the RSF through arms and gold trade has drawn condemnation from Sudanese activists, who are organizing campaigns to expose and disrupt these supply chains.
Grassroots Sudanese movements advocate for dismantling militarized structures and foreign exploitation, emphasizing civilian leadership as the path to true liberation and peace.
