The ongoing conflict in Sudan, which has persisted for over a year, has seen the Sudanese Army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) clashing over control of the country. This war has resulted in thousands of deaths and displaced over 10 million people. In Darfur, particularly in El Geneina, the RSF has been accused of committing severe atrocities against civilians, including indiscriminate attacks and ethnically targeted violence. The United States, in collaboration with the African Union, the United Nations, and other entities, is set to mediate ceasefire talks in an effort to resolve the conflict. Meanwhile, the international community is urged to enforce and expand arms embargoes, as various countries, including the UAE, Russia, Iran, and Turkey, have been implicated in arming different factions within Sudan.
