The crisis in Sudan is taking another devastating turn. Over the past several days, a genocidal paramilitary group known as the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has attacked a sprawling refugee camp in Darfur. As I write this, nearly 400,000 people have fled the camp and are now traversing the desert in search of safety. Meanwhile, the RSF is mounting an offensive on the last major city in Darfur not under its control. This escalation comes as the world rather quietly marked the second anniversary of Sudan's civil war. In April 2022, two rival generals vied for control of the country, plunging it into chaos. Two years on, Sudan has become the world's largest humanitarian crisis, with over 12 million people forcibly displaced from their homes. One of them is Dalia Abdel Moneim. She fled her home in Khartoum shortly after the war began and is now living in Cairo. She joined me for a conversation about the unfolding catastrophe in Sudan.

La guerre au Soudan, deux ans après son déclenchement, est en grande partie passée sous les radars médiatiques, sauf peut-être cette semaine. Ces deux ans de guerre ont été l'occasion de réunir une conférence à Londres coorganisée par le Royaume-Uni, l'Union européenne, l'Allemagne, la France et l'Union africaine, organisation dont le Soudan est membre, même si son gouvernement, l'un des belligérants, n'était pas convié. Alors, au-delà des 800 millions d'euros d'aide promise, cette rencontre a été utile pour jeter un coup de projecteur sur ce qui est, selon l'ONU, « la pire crise humanitaire au monde ».En deux ans de combats entre les forces armées soudanaises du général Al-Bourhane, qui a repris Khartoum, et les paramilitaires des Forces de soutien rapide du général « Hemedti », qui vient d'annoncer un gouvernement rival, on compte plus de 150 000 morts, 13 millions de personnes déplacées et une situation de famine qui menace la moitié de la population. Et face à cela, on peut dire que le monde regarde ailleurs. Un seul exemple, sur toute l'année 2024, TF1, la plus grande chaîne d'Europe, n'a mentionné le Soudan que trois fois dans ses journaux télévisés, d'après l'INA.Témoigner et informer malgré l'exilCe ne sont pas seulement les médias d'information internationale qui documentent sur l'horreur de la guerre. Ce sont d'abord tous ces civils qui témoignent par des vidéos en filmant les exactions, comme on a pu encore le voir dimanche lors des massacres de Zamzam, près d'Al Fasher, opéré par les Forces de soutien rapide. Ce sont ensuite tous ces journalistes qui poursuivent leur travail en exil. Selon Reporters sans frontières, ils sont 431 à avoir fui vers les pays voisins, pour les trois quarts en Égypte, et on compte une dizaine de médias soudanais qui continue de couvrir ce conflit sans avoir de bureaux et en étant sous la menace constante d'une expulsion. Ils sont implantés au Caire, mais aussi en Ouganda, au Kenya ou au Rwanda. En Égypte, des conditions de travail problématiquesProblématiques parce que l'Égypte du maréchal Abdel Fattah Al-Sissi soutient de façon inconditionnelle le régime officiel du général Abdel Fattah Al-Bourhane. Il y a près d'un an, la chaîne Sudania 24 a dû par exemple interrompre ses émissions depuis le Caire quand un opposant à la guerre, issu d'une coalition civile, s'est exprimé. La chaîne a pu ensuite les reprendre, mais le programme politique « Derayat al-Hadath » a été définitivement arrêté en décembre. Depuis, l'équipe subit des intimidations qui prennent la forme d'expulsions du pays, mais aussi de menaces de mort ou de campagnes de diffamation quand elle n'est pas obligée lire des communiqués de soutien à l'armée soudanaise.À lire aussiSoudan: des centaines de réfugiés au Caire cherchent à rejoindre Khartoum en bus

La guerre au Soudan a fait « 13 millions de déplacés et réfugiés » en deux ans. Alors que le Soudan, troisième plus grand pays d'Afrique en superficie, est déchiré depuis avril 2023 par un sanglant conflit entre l'armée du général Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, dirigeant de facto du pays depuis un coup d'État en 2021, et les forces de son ex-adjoint, le général Mohamed Hamdane Daglo. Le Haut Commissariat aux réfugiés s'alarme des conséquences régionales de cette guerre civile, avec chaque jour plus de déplacés. Abdouraouf Gnon-Konde, directeur régional du HCR pour l'Afrique de l'Ouest et du Centre répond aux questions de Léa-Lisa Westerhoff. RFI :  Deux ans après le début du conflit au Soudan, la violence a encore franchi un cap ce week-end au Darfour avec l'attaque et la prise du camp de déplacés de Zamzam. 13 millions de personnes déplacées de force à l'intérieur du pays comme au-delà des frontières. En tant que directeur régional du Haut-Commissariat aux réfugiés pour l'Afrique de l'Ouest et du Centre, comment est-ce que vous qualifiez cette crise ? Abdouraouf Gnon-Konde : D'abord, c'est de dire que c'est une crise humanitaire aiguë. C'est la pire crise humanitaire au monde après Gaza. Mais malheureusement, on n'en parle pas assez. Et je pense que justement, à deux ans du rappel du début de cette crise, c'est important que vous puissiez nous donner cette opportunité de souligner les conséquences de cette crise et d'appeler les uns les autres à réellement trouver une solution politique à l'intérieur du Soudan.Vous rentrez du Tchad où vous vous êtes rendu la semaine dernière. Ce pays frontalier joue un rôle particulier dans la guerre civile. Quelles répercussions la guerre civile a-t-elle sur le Tchad ? Une des conséquences immédiates, c'est que les populations, elles vont chercher un lieu de refuge. Et le lieu de refuge le plus près, pour certaines d'entre elles, c'est le Tchad. Et on a pu voir des populations arriver, qui continuent d'arriver et certaines viennent même depuis Khartoum et qui ont traversé donc des conditions vraiment difficiles. Et depuis avril 2023, le Tchad a déjà reçu près de 800 000 nouveaux réfugiés soudanais. Et cette année, le Tchad a déjà reçu 50 000 nouveaux réfugiés soudanais depuis le début d'année. Et malheureusement, nous nous attendons avec ces attaques auxquelles vous faites allusion, à davantage d'arrivées. Donc vous voyez, pour un pays fragile comme le Tchad, avec une population de 17 millions d'habitants, sans oublier d'autres réfugiés présents sur le territoire, les réfugiés nigérians qui sont là dans la région du lac Tchad et les réfugiés centrafricains et des déplacés internes. C'est extrêmement lourd.Tous les regards sont tournés vers le Darfour. Est-ce que vous craignez que la chute de Khartoum conduise à une aggravation des violences contre les civils dans cette partie ouest du Soudan ? C'est une source de préoccupation dans cette partie ouest du Soudan. Une préoccupation parce que si les combats se rapprochent de la frontière du Tchad, la crainte immédiate, c'est de voir ce que nous appelons en anglais le « spillover », donc un débordement de la crise sur le territoire du Tchad.D'un point de vue régional, quelles conséquences cette crise, ces deux années de guerre civile du Soudan ont-elles sur les pays frontaliers, sur la région ? On a observé des mouvements de populations vers le Tchad. Nous en avons déjà parlé, mais aussi des mouvements de populations vers la Centrafrique. La Centrafrique a déjà accueilli à ce jour à peu près 40 000 Soudanais dans une partie frontalière assez difficile : Birao, Korsi. Mais il n'y a pas que la Centrafrique, il y a aussi l'Égypte, il y a l'Éthiopie, il y a le Sud-Soudan et nous connaissons tous la situation dans laquelle se trouve donc le Sud-Soudan. Et la conséquence, elle va bien au-delà de la région parce que, à la frontière entre le Tchad et le Soudan, nous voyons des populations arriver qui transitent par le Tchad et qui continuent jusqu'en Libye, voire la Tunisie, et qui ont vocation à continuer en Europe. Donc pour nous, ça montre que la conséquence va bien au-delà des pays voisins. Elle va bien au-delà de la région et malheureusement, on voit davantage donc de Soudanais qui essaient d'arriver aux portes européennes.Il y a aussi la question du financement des activités humanitaires. Quel impact la coupure des financements américains a-t-elle sur cette crise au Soudan ? Elle nous contraint à faire des choix extrêmement difficiles. Au Tchad, déjà depuis 2003, nous avions déjà des Soudanais qui étaient là et nous étions en train de travailler à trouver des solutions d'intégration de ces populations. Mais malheureusement, aujourd'hui, avec cette baisse de ressources, nous sommes obligés de nous concentrer sur la réponse d'urgence dans les zones les plus fragiles.Quelle est votre crainte ? Qu'est-ce que vous craignez que ça puisse susciter sur une crise comme celle du Soudan ? La crainte immédiate, c'est de ne pas être en capacité d'apporter la plénitude de réponse. Au niveau global, pour le HCR, les États-Unis contribuent à hauteur de 40% de nos financements, dans la région ils nous accompagnent pour 60%. Mais il n'y a pas que les États-Unis qui ont baissé (leurs contributions). Déjà, pour les besoins immédiats, dans la région Afrique de l'Ouest, Afrique centrale, on parle de 14 millions de déplacés de force. Aujourd'hui dans cette région, 61 % des enfants en âge d'aller à l'école, âgés de 6 à 17 ans sont hors des circuits d'éducation. Donc, comment continuer à prendre en charge ces questions de besoins qui vont bien au-delà de la simple question humanitaire si on n'a pas les ressources adéquates ?

The Sudanese capital, Khartoum, April 15th 2023. Families who'd gathered to celebrate Eid together woke up to gunfire and explosions as a power struggle erupted between two factions of the military led government. There were clashes at the presidential palace, at the airport and at the TV station. Both sides hoped for a quick win, but it quickly became a war of attrition, and in the two years since, the Sudanese people have suffered sexual violence, hunger, displacement and the loss of everything they hold dear. The UNHCR says nearly 13 million people have been displaced by the conflict.In the first of a series of two podcasts to mark the anniversary, Mpho Lakaje talks to Sudan's former deputy intelligence chief, analyst Dr Majak D'Agoot, and asks if we are now in a stalemate, and what the aims of the two sides are.

Cela fait deux ans, mardi 15 avril, que la guerre au Soudan a démarré. Elle est aujourd'hui la plus importante crise de personnes déplacées au monde, selon l'ONU, 13 millions de Soudanais ayant fui leur foyer. Quatre millions se sont réfugiés dans les pays voisins comme l'Égypte, le Tchad ou le Soudan du Sud. Certains ont réussi à pousser jusqu'au Kenya, loin des camps de réfugiés. À Nairobi, la capitale, ils essaient de se réinventer une vie. De notre correspondante à Nairobi,À Nairobi, la capitale du Kenya, dans le quartier de Kilimani, le Jayta est devenu le rendez-vous de la jeunesse soudanaise. Dans ce petit restaurant, pas de manières, on y mange comme à la maison. « Nos clients sont des Soudanais, des Somaliens et des Éthiopiens. Mais on n'aime pas les appeler des "réfugiés". Bien sûr, notre vie est finie au Soudan, avec cette guerre. Il faut tout recommencer, pour survivre. Pendant la révolution, on disait : "À chaque fois, nous referons la révolution, si le gouvernement n'est pas bon pour nous" », se souvient Ahmed Albadawi.Les généraux Abdel Fattah Al Burhan, à la tête de l'armée soudanaise, et Mohamed Hamdan Daglo dit « Hemedti », chef des Forces de soutien rapide (FSR), se mènent une guerre sans pitié depuis deux ans. Mabio Swale, 24 ans, a fui Khartoum dès les premiers bombardements : « J'ai laissé derrière moi, mon père, mes petits frères, même mère. Je ne sais pas comment ils vont, s'ils sont en sécurité. La vie au Soudan est très dure : il n'y a pas de travail, pas de sécurité. On entend les armes et les balles partout. J'aimerais bien refaire ma vie au Kenya. Là, je travaille comme serveur. Avant, je rêvais d'être footballer. Aujourd'hui, je veux juste continuer à travailler pour envoyer de l'argent à ma famille. »Ousmane aussi a quitté Khartoum en 2023.

  Uddrag af dagbogen til Oberst C. K. I. Christensen, Fellow ved Royal Society for Vildfarne Filmstudier, nedskrevet under hans ulyksalige ekspedition til det Afrikanske kontinent, sommeren 1898. Genfundet i maven paa en udstoppet hyæne paa Nationalmuseet i Nairobi. Side 2 - Landgang med tweed og tvivl Stormen fik bølgerne til at skrige som smaa børn, og havet bar lugten af forliste drømme. Vores dampskib blev slynget op paa Afrikas kyst som en døddrukken flodhest. Jeg vadede i land iført mit fineste tweed og et blik, der signalerede staalsat inkompetence. Ingen modtog mig. Kun en død ged og et skilt: “VELKOMMEN TIL AFRIKA – VI ANBEFALER HAT OG NERVEMEDICIN.”     Første observation: Afrika er uforholdsmæssigt varmt, uigennemskueligt og anerkender mestendels ikke gemen bordskik. Jeg udpegede derfor straks kontinentet som fjendtligt. Fire dage senere, et sted syd for Khartoum, var min hest død af varme og anger. Min sidste daase-pølse var fortæret, og kortet jeg havde købt i Antwerpen viste sig muligvis at være bagsiden af en vinmenu fra Holland-Amerika-linjen. Mit kompas snurrede som en gal tepotte. Jeg begyndte at gaa.     Side 16 - Under paraventen: En gentleman bekender sin angst Paa ottendedagen, et sted mellem et udtørret flodleje og min sidste pibe Capstan Navy Cut, hørte jeg stemmer. Ikke inde i hovedet denne gang – virkelige stemmer. Jeg fandt ham i skyggen af et akacietræ. Han kaldte sig Sonny, og tilbød mig et stykke tørret kød, som jeg senere opdagede var hans dagbog. Han førte mig til en teltlejr, hvor man var i færd med at bygge en jernbane. Jeg bemærkede straks fraværet af enhver form for sikkerhedsprotokol, samt det faktum at lejren havde et foruroligende misforhold mellem levende og døde arbejdere. Brølet kom ved skumring. To skabninger. Løver, ja, men med manér som mordere. De bevægede sig lydløst mellem teltene. Jeg naaede akkurat at høre en jæger, med krop som en whiskyflaske og en stemme af kogt læder, sige: “‘The Ghost and the Darkness' (1996).” Jeg flygtede gennem lejren, der stank af imperiel arrogance og løvepis, og gemte mig under en dynge kongolesiske paraventer, der var malet med scener fra et bedre liv. Da jeg kom til mig selv, laa en udstoppet løve ved min side og stirrede anklagende.     Side 29 - Min tid som fodnote i en andens metafor Jeg fandt min næste guide for foden af Spitzkoppe-bjerget i Damaraland, bappende paa et tibetansk bedelys. Eller var det en jernspurv? Jeg antog, det var en slags lokalt inhalationsritual. Det viste sig at være hans frokost. Hr. Ask Hasselbalch – en besnærende type med langt blik og kort lunte, der talte i taager og bar sin tropehjelm paa kunstnerisk sned. Han stirrede ind i solen, som skyldte den ham penge, og hviskede: “Dette er ikke en ørken. Dette er en allegori. Og du er en fodnote.” Jeg nikkede høfligt og forsøgte at fremstaa som en mand vant til at blive metaforisk degraderet. Før jeg kunne bede om mere haandgribelig vejledning, begyndte sandet at bevæge sig. En skikkelse formet af støv og sorg gled gennem landskabet med den selvsikkerhed, man normalt kun ser hos folk med eget vaabenskjold. Han samlede blaffere op. Ensomme sjæle. Og de forsvandt. Jeg vaagnede i et forladt tehus. Paa en serviet, mellem en kop dampende rooibos og en flue i koma, stod det skrevet: “‘Dust Devil' (1992)”. Jeg drak teen. Den smagte af symbolisme… og kardemomme.     Side 77 - På feltfod med Den Glødende Kossak (Notater fra fronten) Til sidst krydsede jeg en grænse (moralsk, forstås) og mødte Lord St. John-Paridon. En mand for hvem sort krudt var et krydderi. Han sagde ikke meget, men duftede svagt af kampvognsolie og propaganda. Uden varsel kastede han mig op i en hestekærre holdt sammen af patronhylstre og patriotisme og satte kursen durk mod flammehavet ‘Red Scorpion' (1988), hvor en højrøstet kossak ved navn Dolph Lundgren skinnede som en babyolieret obelisk midt i et opbrust hav af stridende indfødte. Jeg kastede op af respekt ved synet af Zarens glinsende barbar, som han stod der i modlyset fra den dræbende sol med vodka i aarerne og bly i blikket. Han udnævnte mig overraskende til feltpræst, og jeg døbte omgående en bærbar artillerifløjlskanon, mens officererne istemte med salmer, og en uralsk pansersavant forsøgte at forhandle med en hest. Vi passerede gennem kampzoner, hvor lastbiler eksploderede af stolthed og Dolphs anmasende viljestyrke fik selv baobabtræerne til at gribe til vaaben. En tank forsøgte at kapitulere, men blev omgaaende overtalt til at eksplodere i stedet. Jeg red bort paa trykbølgen, ud mod horisonten, som en gentleman paa en galopperende flaske Zanzibar-gin.      Kapitlet uden hvilket intet ville være muligt Jeg maa, med løvernes brøl endnu rungende i kraniet og en mild hjernebetændelse bag brillen, nedfælde min dybeste tak til jer – medlemmer af den hæderkronede Klub Moviebox. Jeres bidrag er som portvinen i mit glas: sød, klinisk nødvendig og til tider eksplosiv. Uden jeres rundhaandede støtte maatte jeg finansiere ekspeditionerne gennem ulovlige visninger af ‘Crocodile Dundee II' paa en opsprættet mulepose i det vestlige Zambia, eller bytte The Moviebox Collection-videoer mod myggenet og malaria-piller ved kontinentets mange uforudsigelige grænseposter. Det er jer, der gør det muligt for mig at bære tropehjelm med værdighed, og fortsætte disse svimlende cineastiske odysséer uden kompas, kort eller samvittighed, i jagten paa film, som kun vinden, Peter Peter og muligvis tordenguden Shango kender. Epilog Og saaledes slutter beretningen om vores prøvelser og pinsler paa det Afrikanske kontinent. En rejse med løver, dæmoner og eksploderende lastbiler. Hvad lærte vi? Maaske intet. Maaske alt. Men én ting staar klart: Jeg er vendt hjem med skrammer, visdom og tre nye VHS'er, som alle er dækket af sand og forbandelser. Spol altid episoden tilbage, naar De har lyttet færdigt.

UN chief calls Gaza a 'killing field', condemns Israel for aid blockade UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has condemned the suffering caused by Israeli war in Gaza, calling it “a killing field” and holding Tel Aviv responsible for blocking humanitarian aid and neglecting its obligations under international law. Speaking to journalists, Guterres stressed that no aid—food, fuel, medicine, or supplies—has entered Gaza for over a month, warning that the ""floodgates of horror have re-opened."" He cited the Geneva Conventions, emphasizing Israel's duty as an occupying power to provide for the civilian population, which he said is not being fulfilled. Gaza is now Hiroshima: Israeli soldiers describe their horrendous crimes Israeli soldiers have given detailed testimonies revealing widespread destruction and killings in Gaza as part of efforts to establish a so-called buffer zone, according to a new report by the Israeli group Breaking the Silence. The report compiles firsthand accounts from soldiers involved in the invasion, describing the razing of large areas inside Gaza. The group stated that the deliberate devastation was aimed at paving the way for future Israeli control of the territory. Punitive US tariffs on China to hit 104 percent: White House The US will impose a 104 percent tariff on Chinese goods starting on Wednesday, the White House announced. Spokesperson Karoline Leavitt confirmed the move, stating the tariffs will take effect at midnight.

She added that Trump would be “incredibly gracious” if China engages, but emphasised he will act in the best interest of the American people. Over 100 killed in RSF attacks near Khartoum: Sudanese medics More than 100 people, including women and children, were killed in attacks by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in Omdurman, the twin city of Sudan's capital, Khartoum, according to Sudanese medics. The Sudan Doctors Network reported that the deaths occurred over the past week in the Jama'iya region, south of Omdurman, as violence continues to escalate in the conflict-hit country. Trump admin freezes funding for Cornell, Northwestern University The Trump administration has frozen over $1 billion in funding for Cornell University and $790 million for Northwestern University amid investigations into alleged civil rights violations, a US official said. The paused funding includes grants and contracts from federal departments such as health, education, agriculture, and defence. The move follows the administration's threats to cut funds over pro-Palestine campus protests.

Soudan: «L'armée a visé la liquidation des commandants des FSR, d'où leur faiblesse structurelle»

Au Soudan, le général Abdel Fattah al-Burhan et le général Mohamed Hamdane Daglo, dit « Hemetti » sont d'accord sur un point : pas de négociations, la guerre doit aller jusqu'au bout. Ces derniers jours, les Forces armées soudanaises du général Burhane ont remporté une victoire importante en chassant les Forces de soutien rapide (FSR) du général Hemetti de Khartoum. Pourquoi cette guerre continue-t-elle ? Décryptage avec le chercheur soudanais Suliman Baldo, fondateur du centre de réflexions Sudan Policy and Transparency Tracker. RFI : pourquoi les Forces armées soudanaises ont-elles pris le dessus à Khartoum ?Suliman Baldo : les Forces armées soudanaises ont été sur la défensive depuis le début de la guerre. Elles ont subi beaucoup de revers parce que l'armée soudanaise, au début de la guerre, n'avait pas des troupes, des soldats d'infanterie. L'infanterie de l'armée soudanaise, c'étaient les Forces de soutien rapide (FSR). Mais depuis le mois de septembre 2024, l'armée soudanaise a pu recruter des milliers de volontaires. Et il y a aussi des volontaires islamistes, des brigades djihadistes du mouvement islamiste soudanais qui se sont jointes à l'armée et qui ont été le fer de lance de cette armée dans cette offensive.Alors, les Forces de soutien rapide n'ont pas seulement perdu Khartoum, elles ont dû se retirer aussi de Wad Madani. C'était il y a deux mois, au sud de Khartoum, et elles n'ont pas pu continuer d'assiéger El Obeid, c'est dans le Kordofan, au sud-ouest de Khartoum. Pourquoi cette série de défaites ?La raison principale du côté des Forces de soutien rapide, c'est que c'est une force milicienne. C'est une force de milice Janjawid où la loyauté des combattants est pour leur chef, disons à cause des liens de clan, des liens tribaux. Et sur le terrain, l'armée soudanaise a visé la liquidation des commandants et cela a mené à une situation où les combattants se sont retrouvés sans liens directs avec leurs commandants. Et donc tout cela montre une faiblesse structurelle dans la formation des Forces de soutien rapide.À lire aussiSoudan: suite aux revers des FSR, le centre du pays passe aux mains de l'armée C'est-à-dire qu'en ciblant et en neutralisant les chefs de clans et les chefs de tribus, les Forces armées soudanaises ont affaibli les Forces de soutien rapide ?Elles ont ciblé, disons, les chefs avec ciblage de drones, oui, mais aussi avec infiltration des Forces de soutien rapide. Il y a par exemple Dalaha, c'est l'un des plus récents. C'est quelqu'un qui a été très illustre dans les rangs des Forces d'intervention rapide et sa liquidation a beaucoup affaibli le moral de ces Forces.Et ce chef de guerre, il a été assassiné où ?C'était quelqu'un qui était dans le centre du Soudan, dans la région de la capitale. Et ses combattants disent que c'était un drone qui a visé son véhicule.Son véhicule a été ciblé par un drone ?Voilà, c'est ça !À lire aussiSoudan: les FSR concèdent la perte de Khartoum, leur chef promet de revenir avec «une détermination plus forte»À Wad Madani, au sud de Khartoum, les FSR ont commis des atrocités contre la population. Est-ce que c'est l'une des raisons pour lesquelles, elles ont perdu le contrôle de cette ville ?Partout, où elles se sont déployées, les Forces de soutien rapide se sont attaquées à la population civile. Dans certains endroits, comme dans l'État de Darfour de l'Ouest, c'était un ciblage ethnique. Pour les Massalits par exemple, c'était des actions génocidaires qu'elles ont commise contre ces populations. Un comportement criminel. Et ce qui fait qu'elles n'avaient pas de soutien au sein de la population. Mais alors, au moment où l'armée soudanaise est arrivée à récupérer Al–Jazirah, et maintenant ça se passe aussi à Khartoum, il y a certaines unités de l'armée soudanaise qui s'adonnent au même type de comportement criminel, c'est-à-dire des escadrons de la mort, qui visent les populations de l'ouest du Soudan, du sud du Soudan, les Noubas par exemple, comme étant des collaborateurs des Forces de soutien rapide, et elles sont en train de les liquider dans des exécutions sommaires devant caméra !Et cela se passe, dites-vous, dans l'État d'El-Jazirah, et notamment dans la ville de Wad Madani, au sud de Khartoum ?Cela se passe aussi maintenant, au moment où on se parle, à Khartoum même. Ces brigades se sont montrées vraiment très systématiques dans la poursuite des soi-disant collaborateurs des Forces de soutien rapide.Malgré sa défaite militaire de Khartoum, le général Hemetti affirme qu'il n'y aura ni retraite ni reddition. Mais est-ce qu'il a les moyens de continuer le combat ?Alors, il y a deux choses, n'est-ce pas, Hemetti a fait ces affirmations, ces menaces, dans son adresse à l'occasion de l'Aïd el-Fitr. Le même jour, Al-Burhan a fait un discours similaire où il a dit : « Pas de négociations, pas de compromis avec les Forces de soutien rapide. On ira dans la guerre jusqu'à la fin ». Donc, les deux belligérants sont vraiment déterminés à continuer la guerre. Est-ce que les Forces de soutien rapide ont la force de continuer la guerre ? Leurs combattants, qui se sont retirés du centre du Soudan, sont intacts et donc les deux belligérants se préparent pour des nouvelles phases de combats.À lire aussiSoudan: une Constitution de transition signée à Nairobi entre les paramilitaires et leurs alliés

Daily News Brief by TRT World

Hamas accepts ceasefire proposal from Egypt and Qatar "The Palestinian resistance group Hamas has accepted a ceasefire proposal from Egypt and Qatar, urging Israel not to obstruct the plan. The leader of Hamas in Gaza, Khalil al-Hayya, announced the decision on Eid al-Fitr, a holiday following the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, emphasising their commitment to mediation efforts. Al-Hayya said that the weapons of the resistance are a red line. Meanwhile, Israel has countered with its own proposal, reportedly seeking the release of more captives. The push for a deal comes amid renewed Israeli air strikes on Gaza, which have killed over 920 people since March 18. In its war on Gaza, Israel has killed more than 50,200 Palestinians since October 2023, following the Hamas-led attack on Israel." Academy apologizes after backlash over Palestinian filmmaker's arrest "The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has issued an apology after its initial response to the arrest of Palestinian filmmaker Hamdan Ballal sparked outrage. Ballal, co-director of the Oscar-winning No Other Land, was assaulted by Israeli settlers and detained by Israeli forces before his release. Critics slammed the Academy's vague statement, prompting a stronger follow-up. While it now explicitly mentions Ballal and reiterates its condemnation of violence and suppression of free speech, it does not directly name Israel. No Other Land won Best Documentary for exposing Israel's demolition of Palestinian homes. " Syria's al Sharaa unveils new government "A new chapter for Syria has begun as President Ahmad al Sharaa unveiled the newly formed government, emphasizing a commitment to rebuilding state institutions grounded in transparency and accountability. Speaking at a ceremony in Damascus, al Sharaa declared the government's mission to advance education, healthcare and tackle corruption. The cabinet, comprising 22 ministers—including the first woman—covers key sectors, from defence to culture. The groundbreaking change in Syria comes after al Sharaa's leadership, following the ousting of Bashar Assad's regime." Sudanese army secures key area from paramilitary RSF "Sudan's army has announced it has seized control of the crucial Souq Libya market in Omdurman, a key area previously utilised by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces for attacks during the two-year conflict. The new development follows the army's declaration of victory in the capital Khartoum. Souq Libya, a major commercial hub, was left abandoned by the Rapid Support Forces, who fled, leaving behind weapons and equipment. While the army already held much of Omdurman, it aims to secure the entire capital area. The Rapid Support Forces has yet to comment. The UN has described the war, triggered by a power struggle, as one of the world's worst humanitarian crises, causing widespread displacement, hunger and ethnic violence. Estimates suggest tens of thousands have died. The conflict has further destabilised the region.   " Myanmar quake death toll exceeds 1,600 "The death toll from a powerful 7.7-magnitude earthquake that struck Myanmar and Thailand has surpassed 1,600. Myanmar's military junta reports at least 1,644 dead and over 3,400 injured, with the toll expected to rise. The quake, followed by a 6.7-magnitude aftershock, devastated Mandalay and surrounding regions. Rescue efforts continue as the isolated areas struggle with severe damage, including collapsed buildings and infrastructure. Amid the destruction, survivors are calling for urgent aid, with some fearing more casualties are trapped in the rubble."

Daily News Brief by TRT World

Israeli kills 28 more Palestinians in Gaza "At least 28 more Palestinians have been killed in Israeli air strikes across Gaza as attacks targeted residential homes and civilians. Israel launched an aerial offensive on Gaza on March 18, killing at least 830 people and wounding nearly 1,800. The assault shattered a January ceasefire, displacing 124,000 Palestinians again and deepening the humanitarian crisis." US lawmakers, rights groups condemn arrest of Turkish student over criticism of Israel "US lawmakers and rights groups have condemned the arrest of Rumeysa Ozturk, a Turkish PhD student at Tufts University and Fulbright scholar, over her criticism of Israel. Ozturk was detained by masked federal agents in broad daylight, with authorities claiming her of supporting Hamas—an allegation her family and advocates strongly deny. US lawmakers and rights groups say her arrest is part of a wider crackdown on free speech and civil liberties in the US, particularly against those voicing support for Palestinians. Israel constantly denying aid supplies to Gaza: UN "Israel has rejected most attempts by humanitarian organisations to deliver essential supplies into Gaza, the UN Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA) has said. With intense hostilities continuing for a second week, UNRWA warned that basic supplies are running out and could be depleted within days if aid is not allowed in. The agency said most efforts to coordinate access with Israeli authorities have been blocked, worsening the humanitarian crisis in the besieged territory. Sudan's Burhan declares Khartoum 'free' after reclaiming airport Sudan's Sovereign Council Chairman Abdel Fattah al Burhan declared Khartoum ""free"" after the army expelled the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and reclaimed key sites, including the airport. Speaking from the presidential palace, also recaptured by the army on Tuesday, al Burhan marked his first landing in Khartoum since the civil war began nearly two years ago. The local government also confirmed on Facebook that RSF forces had been driven out." Trump orders 25% tariffs on foreign-built cars, light trucks "US President Donald Trump has announced a 25% tariff on auto imports, escalating trade tensions ahead of further levies next week. Speaking at the White House, Trump said the tariffs would apply to all foreign-made cars but not those manufactured in the US. Set to take effect on April 2, the move will hit foreign-made cars and light trucks, adding to existing tariffs on those goods."

Nearly two years on, it's back to Khartoum for Sudan's civil war. The forces of junta leader Abdel Fattah al-Burhan are ousting those of ally-turned-foe Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo from key points. The leader of the RSF militia can instead point to gains in North Darfur province. We ask why we're seeing these shifting alliances that are redrawing the frontline, whether it's a turning point and whether there's any light at the end of the tunnel for the 12 million people displaced by a fratricide conflict that follows the interruption by coups of a revolution that strived to bring democracy to Sudan after decades of strongman rule. Beyond ethnic cleansing that harks back to the days of the Darfur genocide and the risk of famine in parts, there's also a brewing war of words with neighbours South Sudan and Chad, with the latter's leadership accused by Burhan of facilitating Emirati weapons supplies to the RSF. So which will it be for Sudan: containment or contagion?Produced by Rebecca Gnignati, Ilayda Habib and Aurore Laborie.

Heathrow, one of the world's largest airports, has shut down after a fire broke out Thursday night at an electric substation, effectively knocking out the airport's power. We hear about the potential causes behind the fire at the substation and how vulnerable airports are to these kinds of incidents. Also, in Sudan, pro-government troops have retaken control of the presidential palace in Khartoum. The palace was previously held by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, who say the battle is not over yet.
