Fighting broke out seven months ago between the Arab Rapid Support Forces and the Sudanese Armed Forces (saf), the official army, flattening parts of Khartoum, the capital, and claiming more than 10,000 lives. Front lines that had largely been stable have begun to shift rapidly . Armed by regular shipments of weapons flown in from the United Arab Emirates (uae), the rsf has since gained control of most of Darfur, where it seems intent on eradicating the Masalits. The descriptions are harrowing, the suffering unimaginable. Earlier this month, genocidal gunmen went from home to home for three days in a refugee camp in Darfur, Sudan, looking for Masalit men and killing them. Is the world ignoring Sudan wars and famine ?
