Children ‘Piled Up & Shot’: New Details Emerge Of Ethnic Cleansing In Darfur

Gruesome new testimony details one of the worst atrocities of the year-long Sudanese civil war – the large-scale massacre of civilians as they desperately tried to flee an ethnic rampage in Darfur last summer.

Witnesses describe children, still alive, being “piled up and shot” by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) as they attempted to escape the regional capital of El Geneina in June last year during a bout of ethnic violence in which thousands of civilians were killed.


Together, the 221 witness statements collated by Human Rights Watch offer the latest evidence that the Arab-led RSF has orchestrated a concerted 12-month campaign of ethnic cleansing against Sudan’s non-Arab Masalit tribe in West Darfur.

The United Nations and African Union should, says HRW, urgently impose an arms embargo on Sudan and deploy a mission with a robust police force to Darfur, the sprawling region in the west of the country, to protect civilians.

A HRW report published Wednesday calls for sanctions for those ultimately responsible for widespread war crimes, including the West Darfur RSF commander Abdel Rahman Joma’a Barakallah, along with the notorious commander of the RSF, Mohamed “Hemedti” Hamdan Dagalo, and his brother Abdel Raheem.

I heard in Rwanda in 1994 that bodyparts of babies were piled up high on wheel barrows, because they had a thing for chopping them into little pieces

This is the kind of rampant evil going on in the world today, in 2024, when we have the means to prevent this from happening

I was working in Rwanda years ago and visited several of the genocide memorial sites; it was horrific...they do not censor any of the artifacts or images.

Perhaps it's because, like most folks, I'm prone to confirmation bias, but, when looking at stuff like this - the delight in evil for the sake of evil - I don't understand why people insist there is no such thing as the demonic :(.

I want to point out the hypocrisy of Americans shedding tears over the deaths of Palestinian civilians in Gaza and completely ignoring the deaths of Muslim civilians in Sudan because of a civil war there. Anti-semitic pro-Palestinian pro-Hamas Americans in this country would naturally ask "Why should I care about civilians starving and dying in Sudan? They're not being killed by the IDF".

There is a civil war in Sudan where Muslims are killing Muslims and more civilians are dying at three time the number than in Gaza.
And everyone ignores that slaughter mainly because it's not Jews fight Muslims as in Gaza against the terrorist group Hamas.
Pro-Palestinian protesters in the U.S. are unabashed hypocrites. They see the supposedly "starving" babies on the nightly news and their knee-jerk reaction is to accuse the IDF of "genocide" because it a convenient word that everyone conjures up from the Holocaust of the 1940s in Europe.

NO ONE CARES ABOUT DARFUR AND CIVILIANS DYING THERE.

Sudan’s Brutal, Forgotten War​

The death toll here is at least three times Gaza’s. Greta Thunberg and America’s campus leftists are indifferent.​

“One hundred fifty thousand dead,” Suliman repeats, impassive, very British, as we rush off to see the president.
"I think to myself: Here, the death toll (In Sudan) is at least three times that of Gaza. Yet no one on American campuses, or among the Greta Thunbergs and other “progressive” extreme leftists, cares. There are no protests. Radio silence. I think of those “wars of unexpectedly logical causes” foretold by the French poet Arthur Rimbaud (1854-91), who passed through Port Sudan on his way from Yemen to Ethiopia."
"How to describe the desolation that meets our eyes? It’s like Bakhmut, Ukraine, but on the scale of a megacity that had seven million inhabitants before the war and where now one sees only lines of skeletal women, ravaged by famine, waiting since dawn for humanitarian aid that never comes to the 24.6 million starving people."

 
It has been talked about some, but people are so accustomed to hearing about atrocities in Africa, and it is not as relatable a society, we think that's not us, so we don't protest it as much, even though it is is also.
 
This is where Trump is sending detainees, isn't it?

People react to what they see on the nightly news.
It is so easy to pity the poor Palestinians and give cover to hypocritical anti-Semites who want the Jewish state of Israel to fail.
And you are right about Sudan being un-relatable as a society of human beings being slaughtered and starved in the name of two military forces wanting to dominate that war-torn country. They're just nameless Muslims, not like the miserable Palestinians carrying dying babies into hospitals in Gaza.
NOW THAT'S REAL NEWS BRAINWASHED AMERICANS CAN RELATE TO!

Thread is now just another Israel clone thread.

Why is any Israel thread any more important than a Sudan thread where many more Muslims are starving and dying than the number in Gaza?
What makes Palestinian Muslims more important than Sudanese Muslims caught up in a deadly civil war?
Is it because no Jewish "villains" are involved in Muslims killing Muslims in Sudan?

Because this thread is about Darfur.

I don't see why this is so difficult.

I don't know that I would say it's more important in terms of human suffering but it is more important wrt US politics because we give a lot of support to Israel.

Of course we have more support for Israel than Sudan.
Israel is a tiny democratic country fighting for its survival surrounded by 100 million Arabs wanting to see Israel disappear from the Middle East.
They are an amazingly advanced country in that region that has been battling terrorists for almost 80 years.
Your comment suggests it is wrong to be supportive of our strongest ally in that region of the world.
And I do believe countries like Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates want to continue working toward peace with Israel because they know they can benefit from Israel's technological superiority in ever area of innovations in technology.

Ok, but none of this really has anything to do with what I wrote. You asked why a thread about Israel is more relevant than one about Sudan and I'm saying it's because we give so much support to Israel. I never said we shouldn't support Israel. I'm saying that we should do a better job holding them accountable for how they use that material support.

We should hold all countries accountable if we give them aid to fight certain enemies that are also an enemy to America.
