Sudan, yaklaşık iki yıldır çok kanlı ve vahşi bir iç savaşın pençesinde can çekişiyordu. Ancak hadiseler artık “dünyanın da ilgisini çekecek” boyutlara ulaşmaya başladı. Özellikle Darfur bölgesinden gelen görüntüler, kelimenin tam anlamıyla bir soykırımın yaşanmakta olduğunu gösteriyor. İsrail'in Gazze'de gerçekleştirdiğinin aksine, bu defa Müslüman dünya içinde yaşanan bir mezalim bu. Ölen de öldüren de bu taraftan. Önce vahşetin görünürdeki başrol oyuncusuna, ardından perde arkasındaki destekçisine ve onun ana motivasyonuna gelelim:

United Nations officials have condemned mass killings by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in Sudan's el-Fasher. UN officials have warned the UN Security Council that the city has "descended into an even darker hell". The RSF took over el-Fasher, capital of North Darfur state, on Sunday after forcing Sudan's army to withdraw from its last stronghold in the western Darfur region. The paramilitary force has been accused of ethnic killings since its power struggle with the army erupted into violence in April 2023, but the RSF leadership has consistently denied the accusations - although this week its leader General Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo admitted to the violations in el-Fasher. Meanwhile , the World health Organisation says it has received reports that more than 450 civilians in a hospital in the Sudanese City of Al Fasher. BBC's Jeremy Bowen reports

El programa en COPE debate la grave crisis humanitaria en Sudán, especialmente en Darfur, donde Esperanza Santos de Médicos Sin Fronteras describe una guerra contra la población civil, marcada por masacres, violencia sexual y olvido mediático. Se subraya la necesidad de ayuda urgente y la presión internacional. El foco también está en el libro de Juan Carlos I, "Reconciliación", que aborda su reinado y los escándalos financieros. Carmelo y Antonio cuestionan la oportunidad de esta publicación, viéndola más como una justificación personal que como un acto de reconciliación, y señalan que no beneficia la imagen de Felipe VI, cuya gestión es elogiada. Se especula sobre las razones de la no vuelta del rey emérito a España, asociándolas a posibles problemas fiscales. Finalmente, se destaca la heroica actuación de cuatro tripulantes de un helicóptero de salvamento marítimo, quienes salvaron a 11 personas, siendo reconocidos con la hoja del valor.

The Darfur region of Sudan because known to the world as the site of a genocide twenty years ago. The U.S. and U.N. say there is a genocide happening in Darfur again and now the violence there has reached a new level of horror. A paramilitary group known as the Rapid Support Forces took control of the city of El Fasher, leaving hundreds of thousands of residents trapped under RSF control and there is evidence of atrocities being committed. We hear about what is happening in the city and a Sudanese-American poet who grew up in El Fasher and is watching from afar.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Cuộc chiến ở Sudan đã bước sang một giai đoạn mới đầy nguy hiểm. Lực lượng Hỗ trợ Nhanh bán quân sự - hay còn gọi là R-S-F - đã chiếm được căn cứ chính cuối cùng của quân đội ở khu vực Darfur, gây ra một thảm họa nhân đạo tại thủ phủ El-Fasher của Bắc Darfur. Hàng ngàn người đang phải chạy trốn, trong khi các nhóm cứu trợ cảnh báo về các vụ thảm sát sắc tộc và nạn đói. Và xin lưu ý, bài viết này có chứa nội dung bạo lực và đau thương, bao gồm cả các vụ hành quyết.

Sudan's brutal two-year war has entered a new phase. The paramilitary Rapid Support Forces has seized control of the entire Darfur region, ousting the Sudanese army from its last stronghold. The conflict has killed over 40,000 people and displaced more than 14 million, creating a humanitarian crisis. The capture of el-Fasher, North Darfur's capital, raises fears of Sudan splitting again, nearly 15 years after South Sudan's independence. The RSF, led by Gen. Mohammed Hamdan Dagalo, has roots in the Darfur genocide and has been accused of atrocities. Dagalo's forces have expanded their power and influence, leading to a power struggle with Sudan's army chief that plunged Sudan into war.   We'll dive deep into this story on today's episode with Rachel Savage, the Guardian's southern Africa correspondent based in Johannesburg.

A WARNING THAT THIS STORY CONTAINS GRAPHIC ELEMENTS THAT MAY DISTRESS SOME PEOPLE. There are fears for tens of thousands of civilians trapped in the western Sudanese city of Al Fasher, after the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces overran the military's last stronghold in the Darfur region. Aid groups and observers are now documenting cases of mass killings and other atrocities. SBS spoke with Nathaniel Raymond of the Yale Humanitarian Research Lab about the gravity of the crisis.

Horrifying videos and reported atrocities allegedly carried out by RSF militia in and around the Sudanese city of El Fasher demonstrate a “total disregard” for both protection of civilians and the Security Council's resolution demanding an end to the civil war.That's according to the UN's head of humanitarian operations in the country, Denise Brown, who told UN News after recently visiting the Darfur region before the fall of the city this week, that it's proving hard to verify information from the stricken city due to a communications blackout.She told Ezzat El-Ferri she feels a “huge sense” of tragedy and responsibility to continue providing UN relief services, adding that the atrocities must be documented so that “justice can be served.”

Sudan's civil war has entered a dangerous new phase as the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) seize the army's last major base in Darfur. The fall of El-Fasher has sparked a humanitarian crisis, with thousands fleeing and aid groups warning of ethnic violence and starvation.

Declarações reforçam alerta global sobre conflito em Darfur, com aumento crescente no número de vítimas civis; situação na região é considerada uma das piores crises humanitárias do mundo; apelo é pelo fim urgente da violência e acesso seguro para passagem de ajuda.

De Rapid Support Forces (RSF) hebben de Soedanese stad El Fasher in handen, de laatste stad in Darfur die nog niet onder hun controle stond. Volgens lokale bronnen worden vooral mannen die in de stad zijn achtergebleven massaal tegengehouden. Maar onafhankelijke informatie uit het gebied is nauwelijks meer beschikbaar, omdat communicatienetwerken zijn uitgevallen en journalisten worden opgepakt. Journalist Klaas van Dijken van Ligthouse Reports vertelt over de penibele situatie in de stad. (9:24) Frontlinie: Soldaten voor Israël In een nieuwe aflevering van Frontlinie is VPRO-collega en journalist Bram Vermeulen héél dicht bij Gaza gekomen.

A Sudanese militia leader has been found guilty of committing war crimes and crimes against humanity in the Darfur region more than 20 years ago. Ali Muhammad Ali Abd-Al-Rahman, also known as Ali Kushayb, is the first person to be tried by the International Criminal Court for the atrocities in Darfur.

In France Sebastien Lecornu resigns as prime minister saying the conditions were not fulfilled for him to carry on. He criticised unwillingness by political parties to reach compromises. Several parties are calling for early elections and some are calling for President Macron to go - although he has always said he will not stand down before his term ends in 2027. Stocks fell sharply on the Paris exchange amid concerns about the political parties' ability to tackle the country's economic problems, especially its massive debt. Also: A Sudanese militia leader has been found guilty of war crimes in the first International Criminal Court verdict on atrocities in Darfur more than twenty years ago, Hamas' chief negotiator has met Egyptian and Qatari mediators ahead of indirect talks with Israeli officials later, and the British author and journalist, Jilly Cooper has died at the age of 88. She gained fame for her romantic novels - the best known of which are her Rutshire Chronicles. One of the books - Rivals was successfully serialised by Disney Plus in 2024.

A genocidal militia called the Rapid Support Forces has been laying siege to the city of El Fasher, in Darfur, for nearly 500 days. But in recent weeks, the situation has grown far worse. Some 250,000 people are now trapped in the city and are enduring relentless bombardment from drones and artillery. Food is scarce, and an untold number of people are starving to death. To make matters worse, recent moves by the Rapid Support Forces suggest they may be preparing for an all-out assault on the city. This is a pivotal moment in Sudan's civil war, which erupted in April 2023 when two generals—once allies in toppling a civilian-led government—turned their guns on each other, unleashing what is now the world's largest humanitarian crisis. After two and a half years of fighting, the Sudanese Armed Forces control most of the country's east, including Khartoum and a key port city. The Rapid Support Forces, meanwhile, hold much of the west, including resource-rich Darfur—with one critical exception: Darfur's historic capital, El Fasher. Joining me to discuss this precarious moment in Sudan's war and what might finally bring an end to the conflict is Noaman Elwaleed Mousa, a PhD student in political science at the University of California, Los Angeles, who studies civil wars in Africa. We begin with the situation on the ground in El Fasher and the broader significance of this battle for Sudan's future.
