Slaughter has resumed in the Darfur region of Sudan, but most Western and African nations remain indifferent.
Newly arrived refugees from Darfur in Sudan, head to their shelters on April 24, 2024, in Adre, Chad. Since the beginning of the recent conflict, about 600,000 new Darfur refugees have crossed the border into Chad.“Then they piled up the children and shot them,” a witness told Human Rights Watch. “They threw their bodies into the river.”
Yet today the slaughter in Darfur is resuming — and the international response is not. Most Western nations and African ones alike have been fairly indifferent. In addition, food is running out in Sudan, and gunmen have blocked aid groups from delivering food. The U.N. World Food Program reports that with 28 million Sudanese facing acute hunger, people are resorting to eating grass and peanut shells.
When the non-Arab governor of West Darfur protested what he called an “ongoing genocide,” he was detained by the Rapid Support Forces and executed. Videos circulated that showed his corpse stripped and mutilated.
