The killing in the city of El Fasher in Sudan’s Darfur region is so brutal and widespread that bloodstains on the ground can be seen from space. For a year and a half, a militia group called the RSF has been attacking the city – and last, week it fell, resulting in the mass slaughter of civilians. In the past two years, 12 million people in Sudan have fled their homes – and more than 150,000 people have died, making this the world’s largest humanitarian crisis. The violence is sponsored and enabled by the United Arab Emirates, a key Western ally, raising questions about the West’s inaction and complicity. Today, Sudanese political analyst and founder of the think tank Confluence Advisory Kholood Khair on what has unfolded in El Fasher – and what comes next for Sudan.
