Sudan crisis not accidental – UAE and Israel complicit in genocide

SHOCKING images of brutal kill- ings and massacres of thousands of civilians in El Fasher, western Sudan, during the end of Octo- ber, appears to have awoken the world to a largely under-reported genocide ongoing for more than two years.

IF THE layers of convoluted information is stripped of propaganda, we find that underpinning this grim scenario, are regional and international actors reshaping the architecture of governance and control, says the writer. I Sudanese Rapid Support Forces/AFP

The horrific reality of an escalation in the gruesome war became evident as satellite images revealed the scale of the atrocities. Victims included women, children, and the elderly.

Though Sudan has been engulfed in one of Africa's bloodiest conflicts since April 2023, much of the world including African countries had opted to remain unmoved. This allowed the painful suffering of millions to endure while the battle waged by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) led by Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo (Hemedti), has turned the country into a hell hole of death and destruction.

Reports indicate that as of late 2025, the war in Sudan has killed tens of thousands of people and displaced over 12.6 million Sudanese, making it the world's largest displacement crisis today. Tragically also the health and economic systems have completely collapsed, and the capital, Khartoum, remains divided between rival forces.
