An organization warned Doctors Without Borders Today, Thursday, the occurrence of what was called collective atrocities and acts of ethnic nature in Darfur (western Sudan) with the intensification of battles between Army AndRapid support forces In the region.
The organization issued a report based on dozens of interviews that took place between May 2024 and May 2025, and referred to fears of what he described as systematic violence against non -Arab ethnic groups.
The emergency official of the MSF Michel Olivier said that people are targeting in Darfur frequently by the Rapid Support Forces and its allies, especially on an ethnic basis.
The organization pointed to threats to launch a comprehensive attack on Fasher The capital of North Darfur – which is inhabited by hundreds of thousands of people – amid a large extent that food and water supplies are cut off and the population deprives medical care.
Systematic violence
The MSF report – which was based on 80 interviews with displaced persons and patients – spoke about systematic forms of violence, including looting, mass killing, sexual violence, kidnapping, starvation, attacks on civilians and health facilities.
The report quoted eyewitnesses as saying that the elements of the Rapid Support Forces talked about plans to “purify El -Fasher” from their non -Arab societies, especially the Zaghawa tribe, which raised fears of a similar massacre in 2023 against the Masalit tribe in West Darfur.
“We are afraid of such a scenario in Al -Fasher,” said Matilde Simon.
The Medical Humanitarian Organization was forced to stop its operations in Al -Fasher and Zamzam camp for the near displaced people, which was stormed by the Rapid Support Forces last April.
The Rapid Support Forces control most parts of the Darfur region, and it has been besieging El -Fasher for more than a year, and in the past months these forces have intensified their attacks on the city in an attempt to remove the army and its allies from it, and the repeated shelling of the city and the displaced camps near it caused dozens of killing and causing great destruction.
The United States and non -governmental organizations accused the Rapid Support Forces of carrying out “genocide” and “ethnic cleansing” in Darfur, but those forces deny this.
