Following the RSF’s seizure of el-Fasher, reports surfaced of horrific atrocities against civilians, including executions of the sick and injured at Al Saudi Hospital. Satellite imagery confirmed the presence of potential mass graves near hospitals, with sources estimating up to 2,000 deaths in just three days. The RSF has cut off satellite communication, hindering information flow, while those fleeing report widespread looting and targeted killings of those with military knowledge. The current violence is a continuation of the ongoing conflict, with the RSF seeking to control Darfur, a region rich in resources like gold.

Sudan: Mass killings prompt fears of a new Darfur genocide – DW – 10/29/2025: The situation unfolding in Sudan, specifically in the Darfur region, is rapidly escalating, and the world is right to be alarmed. The recent mass killings, which are being described as potentially the beginning of another genocide, are a horrifying reminder of the atrocities that have plagued this region for years. Reports suggest that a brutal offensive, lasting over 18 months, culminated in the fall of El Fasher, with the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) reportedly responsible for the deaths of potentially tens of thousands of people in just the last week.
The scale of the violence is staggering, with some reports suggesting that the death toll in Sudan has reached almost half that of the reported deaths in Gaza over the last two years. The gravity of the situation is amplified by the fact that the RSF, which is a key player in this conflict, is being supported by the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The UAE is providing arms and financial backing, raising serious questions about international complicity and the motivations behind the conflict.
It’s clear that the international community has a responsibility to act. While the United Nations has condemned the atrocities, this condemnation is not enough. There’s a dire need for concrete action, including potential peacekeeping efforts. The US and other nations must hold the UAE accountable and pressure them to cease their support for the RSF. There are serious concerns that the US, in exchange for the UAE normalizing relations with Israel under the Abrahms Accord, is turning a blind eye to the UAE’s actions in Sudan.
There is a growing sense of frustration that the situation in Sudan isn’t receiving the same level of attention as other global conflicts. The focus on the conflict between Israel and Palestine has, in some circles, seemingly overshadowed the suffering of the Sudanese people. This imbalance is disheartening, and it highlights the complex ways in which media coverage, political priorities, and perhaps even underlying biases, can shape our understanding of and response to human suffering.
The question of why some conflicts receive more attention than others is a complex one. The factors at play include the political interests of powerful nations, the way media outlets frame the narrative, and pre-existing biases that can shape our perceptions. It’s also true that various organizations and people are raising money to send aid to help the people affected by this conflict. There is a universal human desire to help others and that is seen in the contributions being made.
It’s essential to remember that all human lives are equally valuable, and the suffering of the Sudanese people deserves the same level of concern and action as any other humanitarian crisis. This situation is particularly complex and disturbing because it involves groups of Muslims killing other Muslims, which makes it even more difficult for certain parties to take action. This isn’t just a political issue; it’s a moral one, and it is a reminder that we need to actively seek information about international affairs instead of relying on biases.
The root causes of the conflict are complex, but the RSF’s actions appear to be motivated by a desire to control resources and gain political power. It’s also important to understand that the RSF is receiving military support from the UAE, a major geopolitical player in the region, adding another layer of complexity.
One of the most troubling aspects of this crisis is the apparent silence or lack of outrage from certain groups who are typically vocal about human rights abuses. This apparent hypocrisy raises difficult questions about selective outrage and the ways in which political affiliations can shape our moral compass. It’s true that some people show outrage towards the genocide happening in Israel, and not the genocide happening in Sudan. It’s a sad reality that the attention given to a conflict doesn’t always reflect the severity of the situation or the scale of the human suffering.
It’s important to remember that war is always horrific. The scale of the bloodshed in Sudan is undeniable, and the world needs to pay attention. The ongoing violence needs to stop, and those responsible for these atrocities must be held accountable. The situation in Sudan deserves our unwavering attention and action.
