US Watches Sudan Genocide, Mentions 'Atrocities' (A Full Year Late)
The latest update confirms the Rapid Support Forces' (RSF) siege on El Fasher, complete with reports of atrocities. This isn't breaking news to those paying attention; Human Rights Watch documented RSF 'ethnic cleansing' in West Darfur in December 2023 . The U.S. State Department, for its part, issued a 'joint statement' expressing concern in June 2023 —a full year ago. It appears 'concern' and
'admitting' are the primary forms of intervention when the victims aren't strategically located or blessed with valuable resources. While the world's attention was fixed elsewhere, the RSF, accused of potential 'past atrocities,' marched on. One might wonder if the delayed, passive reporting of 'atrocities' is simply a preparatory step before another round of 'thoughts and prayers' are offered.
