Mass killings and famine grip Darfur as history threatens to repeat itself
The situation in Darfur is dire as a severe famine has escalated in two regions of Sudan, with a paramilitary group linked to past genocides now in control of El Fasher. This has left around 200,000 civilians in a precarious position, fearing for their lives amid the threat of mass killings. This crisis is a stark reminder of the region's troubled history and highlights the urgent need for international attention and intervention to prevent further atrocities.
