Sudan showing signs of 'risk of genocide' - UN
The situation in Sudan bears all the marks of risk of genocide with strong allegations that this crime has already been committed.
Alice Wairimu Nderitu pointed to civilians being attacks and killed because of their ethnicity or the colour of their skin in Darfur, a region that already experienced the first genocide of the 21st Century when an estimated 200-thousand people were killed between 2003 and 2005. tens of thousands of civilians have since been killed or injured, millions have been displaced while acute food insecurity has soared amid reports of horrific attacks and inhumane treatment of civilians.
Add to that the risk of genocide in a region that had yet to fully recover and receive accountability for the last one, as Alice Wairimu Nderitu explains “I would like today to raise my alarm, in a clear and unequivocal way, about the ongoing situation in Sudan. This situation today bears all the marks of risk of genocide, with strong allegations that this crime has already been committed. Civilians are far from protected. Civilian populations are targeted on the basis of identity.
