Uganda ranks 143rd out of 180 in the Reporters Without Borders (RSF) Press Freedom Index. Journalists there face intimidation and violence on a nearly daily basis, according to the media watchdog. With Uganda set to hold a presidential election in 2026, RSF says it's "vital that journalists are able to work in complete safety."

Japan placed 66th, the lowest among the Group of Seven major countries, in the 2025 freedom of press rankings announced by Reporters Without Borders, or RSF, on Friday.

Reporters Sans Frontières a publié ce vendredi son classement annuel sur la liberté de la presse dans le monde et en Afrique. La dégradation des conditions des journalistes dans les pays en guerre a été pointée comme au Soudan, en RDC, au Mali ou encore au Burkina Faso. RSF note également une dépendance économique de plus en plus accrue des médias aux gouvernements et aux annonceurs affaiblissant ainsi leur neutralité. C'est le cas selon l'ONG au Cameroun, au Togo ou encore au Sénégal.

En tant qu'agence de presse internationale, l'AFP fait partie du club encore très fermé de médias directement accrédités à la Maison Blanche.Deux correspondants et cinq photographes de l'AFP travaillent directement sur place pour couvrir les activités et déclarations du président de la première puissance mondiale. Ce podcast fait partie de notre série "Making of" sur les coulisses du métier de journaliste à l'AFP. Depuis que le républicain Donald Trump est de retour au pouvoir, le rythme est haletant, imprévisible et les prises de parole innombrables. L'administration de ce président qui aime dire que la presse est “l'ennemie du peuple”, a aussi pris des mesures contre certains médias accrédités, comme la grande agence américaine Associated Press.Selon Reporters sans frontières (RSF), qui publie son classement annuel sur la liberté de la presse ce vendredi 2 mai, ce second mandat de Trump a déjà entraîné, je cite “une dégradation inquiétante de la liberté de la presse”.Pour cet épisode, nous vous proposons d'écouter le récit de ces 100 jours par Aurélia End et Danny Kemp, nos deux correspondants et l l'historien spécialiste des médias Jon Marshall, professeur associé à l'école de journalisme de Medill (Université Northwestern) à Chicago, auteur de Clash: Presidents and the Press in Times of Crisis Réalisation et présentation : Michaëla Cancela-KiefferEnregistrements sonores : chaîne YouTube de la Maison Blanche, chaîne YouTube de Clay Travis Doublages : Djilali Belaïd, Michel MoutotSur le Fil est le podcast quotidien de l'AFP.

durée : 00:05:27 - L'invité de 6h20 - Anne Bocandé, directrice éditoriale de Reporters sans frontières, était l'invitée de France Inter ce vendredi. RSF publie son classement annuel de la liberté de la presse et alerte particulièrement cette année sur les pressions économiques qui menacent le secteur.

Mauvais temps pour l'information dans le monde, les nuages s'accumulent sur la liberté de la presse. Les conditions de travail des journalistes se dégradent un peu partout. D'après le Classement annuel réalisé par Reporters sans frontières, plus de six pays sur dix voient leurs scores reculer. Conséquence directe, l'accès à une information vérifiée est rendu plus difficile, tandis que les grandes plateformes captent l'attention du public et les revenus publicitaires qui vont avec. Selon RSF, « la fragilisation économique des médias constitue l'une des principales menaces pour la liberté de la presse. ». L'ONG qui publie chaque année ce Classement de la liberté de la presse dans le monde pointe notamment la responsabilité des grandes plateformes, dont la captation des recettes publicitaires ne cesse de croître aux dépens des médias. La production d'informations fiables, la constitution d'un espace médiatique pluraliste, assurant une bonne visibilité à des contenus provenant de médias indépendants, est menacée. On fait le bilan avec notre invitée Anne Bocandé, directrice éditoriale de RSF.Comment s'organiser pour résister à cette tendance d'une dégradation des conditions de travail des journalistes dans le monde ? Conséquence de cet état de fait, l'accès à une information de qualité devient de plus en plus difficile.  C'était justement l'enjeu des rencontres de Marseille qui accueillaient pour la première fois les Assises du journalisme, initiative soutenue par CFI, on y revient avec Thierry Vallat.À lire aussiLa liberté de la presse en recul à travers le monde en 2024, selon Reporters sans frontièresLa chronique de Grégory Genevrier de la cellule info vérif de RFI : Sénégal : ce convoi militaire filmé à Dakar n'appartient pas à l'armée française.La chronique de Monique Ngo Mayag de l'AFP factuel : La Russie, un pays sans dette ?

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.

苏丹准军事快速支援部队（RSF）宣布，经过两天的战斗，他们已经控制了达尔富尔地区一个遭受饥荒的难民营。据联合国估计，截至4月14日，袭击已造成 100 多名平民死亡，国际救援组织称，他们的九名人道主义工作者被武装分子杀害（点击音频，收听完整内容）。

Gaza ministry says Israel killed 1,400+ medical personnel, kidnapped 360 others amid genocide "The Health Ministry in Gaza has announced that over 1,400 medical personnel have been killed in Israeli attacks since October 2023, with 360 others still detained by Israeli forces. The ongoing war has claimed more than 62,000 Palestinian lives—mostly women and children—left over 115,000 injured, and displaced nearly the entire population of 2.3 million." Israeli strikes kill 6 more Palestinians in Gaza "Israeli forces carried out multiple air strikes in Gaza City, targeting tents sheltering displaced civilians and a residential apartment again, killing six Palestinians and wounding several others, according to medics. Among the dead were an elderly woman and three people struck inside Yarmouk Stadium, which houses thousands of displaced families. " Sudan's RSF establishes rival govt; army advances in Omdurman as war rolls into 3rd year "Sudan's paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) chief Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo has announced the formation of a rival government, marking the war's third year with a call for a “Government of Peace and Unity” to challenge the army-aligned administration. Meanwhile, the Sudanese army said it had regained control of three areas and a camp from the RSF in western Omdurman, claiming continued military advances and heavy losses inflicted on RSF ""militia""." Ball in China's court on tariffs — Trump "Donald Trump says it's up to China to restart trade talks, accusing Beijing of backing out of a major Boeing deal. “The ball is in China's court,” Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters, stressing that the US doesn't need a deal as much as China does. Trump's comments follow reports that Beijing ordered airlines to halt Boeing jet deliveries and pause purchases of US aircraft parts, raising tensions in the ongoing trade standoff." Barbaric act': Scores of Muslim graves desecrated in UK hate crime "UK police are investigating an Islamophobic hate crime after 85 graves, many of them belonging to babies and young children, were desecrated in the Muslim section of Carpenders Park Lawn Cemetery in Watford. Hertfordshire Police said the act, discovered by a grieving family, has deeply shaken the local Muslim community. Authorities have increased patrols and are urging anyone with information to come forward."

“Right now we're receiving hundreds of patients and victims from ZamZam camp. You can hear the sounds of children… they do not belong to any military.”Today marks two years since war first broke out in Sudan, and in the second of two podcasts on the state of the war, we turn our attention to Darfur.Over the last few days, attacks by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces on the Zamzam camp, near the city of El Fasher in North Darfur, have intensified, and the RSF say they have taken control. Over 700,000 people already displaced by the fighting have been taking shelter there. The UN says more than 100 civilians have died in these attacks - including at least 20 children. The aid group Relief International, said its entire staff of 9 hospital employees - including the head doctor – were shot dead by paramilitaries after they broke into the main camp.In today's pod we hear from a member of the Masalit community of El Geneina which faced similar attacks earlier in the war.

Tarehe 15 mwezi April imwaka 2023 wananchi wa Sudan hususan mji mkuu Khartoum waliamshwa na mapigano kati ya jeshi la serikali SAF na wanamgambo wa kikosi cha msaada wa haraka RSF. Hadi leo hii mapigano hayo yanazidi kushika kasi na raia wanafurushwa makwao. Miongoni mwao ni watoto ambao zahma wanayokutana nayo sio tu kufurushwa bali pia changamoto ya afya ya akili. Tayari shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la kuhudumia watoto, UNICEF limeona shida hiyo na limeanza kuchukua hatua kama anavyosimulia Assumpta Massoi kwenye makala hii. 

Vita ya sasa ya Sudan ikielekea kuingia mwaka wa tatu, Tume Huru ya Umoja wa Mataifa ya kusaka ukweli kuhusu Sudan imelaani vikali mauaji ya watu zaidi ya 100 yaliyotokea wikiendi hii katika kambi za wakimbizi wa ndani Darfur, ikionya kwamba hali inaweza kuwa mbaya zaidi. Anold Kayanda na taarifa zaidi.(Taarifa ya Anold Kayanda)Shukrani LeahTangu kuanza kwa vita kati ya Jeshi la Sudan (SAF) na kikosi cha waasi cha RSF mnamo tarehe 15 Aprili mwaka 2023, maelfu ya watu wamepoteza maisha, huku mamilioni wakikumbwa na njaa, ubakaji, na ufurushwaji. Kambi kama ya Zamzam, yenye wakazi zaidi ya laki saba – nusu yao wakiwa watoto – zinaripotiwa kuzingirwa, wakazi wake wakikosa chakula, dawa, na maji, imeeleza Tume Huru ya Umoja wa Mataifa ya kusaka ukweli kuhusu Sudan.Mwenyekiti wa tume hiyo, Mohamed Chande Othman, ananukuliwa akisema, “Dunia imeshuhudia miaka miwili ya mzozo usio na huruma ambao umewanasa mamilioni ya raia katika mazingira ya kutisha, wakiwekwa katika hali ya ukatili bila matumaini ya mwisho.”Kwa mujibu wa taarifa iliyotolewa leo na Mkurugenzi Mtendaji wa shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la kuhudumia watoto UNICEF, Catherine Russell kuhusu tukio hili la hivi karibuni ni kwamba watoto takriban 23 na wahudumu 9 wa misaada wameripotiwa kuuawa katika mfululizo wa mashambulizi katika eneo la Darfur Kaskazini, katika kipindi cha siku tatu zilizopita.Jana Jumapili, Katibu Mkuu wa Umoja wa Mataifa, Antonio Guterres amesisitiza kuwa mashambulizi yanayolenga raia ni marufuku kabisa chini ya sheria ya kimataifa ya kibinadamu. Wafanyakazi wa misaada ya kibinadamu na wafanyakazi wa afya wanapaswa kuheshimiwa na kulindwa,anasema.Kesho Jumanne huko London Uingereza, mataifa takriban 20 yanatarajiwa kujadili hali ya kibinadamu nchini Sudan. Umoja wa Mataifa unatoa wito wa hatua za haraka kulinda raia, kusitisha uungwaji mkono kwa pande zinazopigana, na kuhakikisha haki na uwajibikaji kwa uhalifu wa kivita.

Onder leiding van het VK, Frankrijk en Duitsland komen morgen in Londen twintig landen bijeen om te zoeken naar oplossingen voor de oorlog in Soedan, een conflict dat inmiddels is uitgegroeid tot de grootste humanitaire crisis ter wereld. Vooral de aanwezigheid van de Verenigde Arabische Emiraten roept vragen op, vanwege hun steun aan de RSF, die wordt beschuldigd van genocide. Daarover Afrika-correspondent Joost Bastmeijer en Soedan-kenner Anette Hoffmann van Instituut Clingendael. (13:08) Hoe de Russen burgers aanvallen De Russische raketaanval op de Oekraïense stad Soemy was volgens Donald Trump niet met opzet gericht op burgers. Meer dan 30 mensen kwamen er gisteren om het leven. Toch was het zeker niet de eerste Russische aanval waarbij alleen maar burgers werden gedood. Wat wil Rusland hiermee bereiken? We spreken onze correspondent Michiel Driebergen vanuit de getroffen stad. Presentatie: Chris Kijne

Mannúðarvandi er hvergi meiri en á Gaza og í Súdan. Við förum þangað í Heimskviðum í dag. Helmingur þeirra rúmlega tveggja milljóna sem hafast við á Gaza eru börn. Fleiri en 50 þúsund hafa verið drepin á þeim átján mánuðum sem hafa liðið frá dagsetningunni örlagaríku, 7.október 2023. Greinendur og mannréttindasamtök telja reyndar að mun fleiri séu látin, líklega séu þúsundir líka undir rústunum sem finna má um alla Gaza-ströndina. Fleiri en 15 þúsund hinna látnu eru börn og Gaza er því líklega hættulegasti staður jarðar fyrir börn. Svo förum við til Kartúm, höfuðborgar Súdans, sem var um mánaðamótin frelsuð úr höndum hersveita RSF sem náðu þar yfirráðum 2023. Hershöfðinginn Abdel Fattah al-Burhan hefur síðustu daga farið sigri hrósandi um borgina og sagt að núna sé hún loksins frjáls. Og íbúum sem hafa síðustu mánuði og misseri búið við ofríki og umsátur RSF-sveitanna er létt. En það breytist líklega ekki mikið fyrr en valdasjúkir hershöfðingjar gefa eftir völdin og skref í átt að lýðræði verða tekin. Annars verður bara meira af einræði, ofbeldi og kúgun.

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. Leavitt said President Trump believes China ""has to make a deal"" and criticised Beijing's retaliation as a mistake. 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.

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."

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."

Cientos de miles de víctimas, entre muertos y heridos, malnutrición extrema y hambruna en algunas regiones han dejado a Sudán al borde del cataclismo cuando se van a cumplir dos años de guerra civil sin el foco mediático de Ucrania o Gaza. Lejos quedaron las esperanzas de una transición democrática tras la caída del dictador Omar al Bachir y ahora la desolación marca una guerra compleja y muy olvidada. Sudán, país del noreste de África, sufre la mayor catástrofe humanitaria del mundo y la mayor crisis de desplazados con muy poca atención mediática. Unos 30 millones de personas, dos tercios de la población, necesitan asistencia sanitaria y alimentaria, según datos de la ONU. Pero los esfuerzos humanitarios se ven dificultades por la falta de seguridad en medio de un sangriento conflicto civil entre el ejército regular liderado por el general Abdel Fatah al Burhane y y las paramilitares Fuerzas de Apoyo Rápido (RSF) lideradas por Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo ("Hemetti").Alfredo Langa, investigador en el Instituto de Estudios sobre Conflictos y Acción Humanitaria. Ex delegado de la Cruz Roja en Jartum y autor de numerosas investigaciones sobre el país, explica para RFI las claves de esta guerra: “El Gobierno de ​​Omar al Bachir desde 1989, luego se separa de los islamistas civiles. El tipo se beneficia del petróleo. En 2018 tienes una gran revolución que se supone que es, que tiene como punto importante la subida de los precios y a partir de ahí hay un gobierno, digamos, de transición.Pero claro, un gobierno de transición donde controlan, digamos, los militares, pero también los paramilitares”, recuerda el investigador Langa.“La cuestión es que ni al Burhane ni Dagalo van a permitir que haya una verdadera democracia. Porque en cuanto haya una verdadera democracia en Sudán y tenga que haber responsabilidad o rendición de cuentas por las matanzas en Darfur o por la opresión, al final ambos tendrán que pagar. Leer tambiénLa expansión de la hambruna en Sudán, gran alerta de la ONU para 2025Es una guerra para lucha por poderUno de los principales motivos del aumento de número de desplazados ha sido el incremento de la violencia en los estados de Jezira y Darfur, donde la guerra ha ido acompañada de una siembra del terror por parte de los paramilitares y de bombardeos indiscriminados de ambos bandos. Alfredo Langa ha investigado las raíces de esa violencia y enfatiza en que “a partir de 2001-  2002 empieza la violencia en la región de Darfur. Porque lo que es importante, esas narrativas fáciles del norte, sur, etcétera, no son tan claras. Lo que siempre ha habido es unas élites dominantes que tienen que ver con Jartum. Luego hay una élite que es mucho más dominante, que es la élite islamista, primero islamista civil y luego, sobre todo islamista militar. Y esta gente lo que hace sobre todo es tratar de reprimir todo aquel movimiento regionalista, aquellos movimientos que tengan que ver con mayor autonomía para algunas regiones de Sudán, por ejemplo, para la zona del Mar Rojo, para la zona de Nilo Azul y sobre todo para la zona de Darfur”. Miembros de las milicias aliadas del Ejército han estado implicados en detenciones arbitrarias, desapariciones y ejecuciones sumarias en las zonas donde han ido recuperando el control tras casi dos años de guerra.Leer tambiénConflictos y desastres naturales rompen el récord mundial de desplazados internos 

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.

Sudan is taking the United Arab Emirates to the International Court of Justice, accusing it of supporting Sudan's paramilitary Rapid Support Forces. Khartoum argues the UAE is "complicit in the genocide" through military, financial and political backing for the RSF. The UAE has strongly rejected Sudan's allegations, calling the case a "cynical publicity stunt" and saying it will seek an immediate dismissal.Also will China be able to fill the gap after the withdrawal of USAID in Africa?
