Human Rights Watch has documented ethnic cleansing in the West Darfur region of Sudan by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces and allied militias against the Masalit people and other non-Arab communities. “These allied militia and the RSF then, from April until June, conducted a rampage of killings, of lootings, of torture, of rape,” says Belkis Wille, associate director with the Crisis, Conflict, and Arms Division at Human Rights Watch. She says international actors must cut off the flow of arms to all warring parties, but adds there is little “political will” to enforce an arms embargo in Sudan.

Sudan has been suffering for too long stop this violence.
No
Then stop Islam

Who cares? No Jews involved
@@kingmufasa8929They are all Muslims. That's not the cause.
Thank you for bringing attention to Sudan. The people of Africa are often forgotten.
L Afrique n est pas un pays et cessez d être raciste a considérer tout les noirs comme des Africains.
Because they are being looted by the Zionists
they forget themselves to hell with them. As a white guy I know more about what goes on there then most black sumpremacist soy boys
Yeah. I still don't understand the world never look into Africa problem seriously. I also don't understand. I think they only look into South Africa but the rest? Maybe because many white men over there. I don't know.
@@Uda007 when the west steps in they get blamed , that's why Obama didn't go in to Syria when asked to , and you can blame Kofi annan and UN for not going in years ago and it never used to be all islamic , never Arab either but there you go and I was told it was to civilised the animist and nihilist tribes ,
The result of 1,400 years of Arab Muslim genocidal settler colonialism in Sudan specifically/north Africa in general.
The indigenous Sudanese, who are Nubians, example the Masalit and Fir ethnic groups, had been pushed west into Darfur over the last thousand years and are now being wiped out there too or pushed into Chad, South Sudan, etc.
The Arab-Muslim militias conducting this genocide against non-Arab indigenous groups should be receiving way more attention.
The Palestinians are the real indigenous of Sudan for thousands of years
@@roiissac158What? Are you feeling alright?
@@Auroral_Anomaly Palestinians are the indiginous of the world. Of UK, US, everywhere
I think this Arab migration to Sudan only happened about 300 years ago
@@roiissac158 Mort de rire.
Arab supremacy is rarely covered
Is this conflict about race?
@@user-ck2hr5vn8e To a certain extent, yes. Another factor is the geopolitical influence of other countries due to oil and resistance against Western hegemony.
Our education system really shows, there's a difference between African and Arabic peoples. 😂
Trust me bro. (gold, oil, cancerous west). Where ever there are atrocities, there is that deadly combination. Democracy-now, as much as you try to be truthful, vet your sources well.
Tru Tru Arabs had a big hand in Transatlantic slave trade...
Thank you for covering this.
Thank you Democracy Now this is really important!
Never again. That means never again anywhere, any time, to any population of people
ZioNazis will play the Holocaust card ♦️
Which is why the UN was created, or not? Yet, it does not have the slightest interest. No main stream media interest, no demos, nothing. Absolutely tragic.
Go stop it. I’m not going to help you.
That basic statement has been made 2 billion times before and if you haven't noticed, it happened/happens again; but I'm glad it makes u feel better. 🙄
@@carrieshayne89 Unfortunately it has to be said because humans have a hard time learning/ remembering their. Mistakes
Horrifying! The world must come together and stop these killings of civilians in Sudan.
*stop it all, PERIODT*
Free these people from corruption and genocide
Africa pls UNITE
I also don't know where this problem started but I heard about it very long time ago. I thought everything was settle because not heard about it anymore. Now I know it never settle.
@@Uda007
It's a power struggle between the most powerful 2 Sudanese military generals: Al-Burhan (leading the SAF) & Hemetti (leading the RSF i.e the troops of the SAF) ... They collaborated with each other in the war in Darfur, the war in Yemen and then in the crackdown on protests in Sudan. After dealing with their common enemies, however, each one of them wanted the throne for himself, which eventually made them turn on one another.
Save us all from the corruption
@@-paganless-4248 And the people became the victim? OMG... WTH.. This is crazy.
What a terrible situation. It breaks my heart to see people being killed just because they are of different ethnic gp.
The most important thing now is to stop the Jews, all the rest can wait
That it not the problem. It's outside interference.
As a Canadian, I am shocked by the scale of what is happening. This is way bigger than the war in Ukraine or Gaza yet it is never ever covered here. It doesn't even sound like we are at fault this time. Why would my news media keep this hidden from me?
I also don't know it still on going until today. I thought everything was settle long time ago. My country sent a troop under UN 20 years ago... I think. Too long and can't remember the exact year. And after that, never send it again and never heard the crisis anymore. So, I thought the problem settled. But it's not.
Because your news media wants to manipulate you
*and it's been going on for on all over AFRICA as a whole, 4ever*
*but they learnt from the best*🤦😮
@@Uda007it's not complicated to understand WHY...the sheer brutality is off the charts. it's like doing it & watching it done w/ control or say uncontrollable.
for example...
your country military has a uniform, right?
now think bout what alot other countries just has bands of roaming gangs going from place to place just doing whatever, don't know who is who or what. just chaotic. but there's more but I'm tired, shoulder joint is aching. Good Day.
Obviously, they want to direct your attention elsewhere. The number of casualties is irrelevant to them. Its all about having you focused on specific locations -- and this isn't one of them.
The enablers are more to blame. Why would you send money to these monsters to buy more weapons and k.. innocent civilians.
Without this support they cannot carry out these mas........
These countries need to be called out at the UN.
Simple answer, to keep Africa down.. imagine a united Africa, the power and influence it would have.. this has been the West's aim from day dot.. when they couldn't colonise in plain sight, they changed their tactics to putting in leaders to further their agenda..
Open the Khavaran cemetery … free Baluchistan!
UN is useless.. Which is ehy Palestinians had to find their ownnway to resist. Africa rise against oppressors
@@josephine4611absolutely agree
The UN is unfortunately spineless and it's heads are puppets...
Lost for words..
This has been ongoing in Sudan and the world has been ignoring it.
It is DELIBERATELY done it that way ...
Not true. We've been following this on Africa International news.
hard to cover Sudan when people only care about Palestine.
Black people are invisible.
My God, those poor kids, mothers, babies. Are these people ever going to have any peace. This is absolutely heartbreaking 💔 😢
The massacre in Gaza is beyond belief.
BUT! What is happening in the Sudan is affecting many, many more people.
The world is going mad.
Evil appears to be the norm.
How sad for humanity.
😭😭😭😭😭😭
This type of evil has existed our entire human existence. It’s just in our nature we’re still animals and this is how we compete. Nevertheless it should never happen it’s crazy
Congo is worse. 15,000,000 dead
We were always like this. The internet is just revealing it.
The interviewer brings up Iran as a funder of RSF and Belkis Wille nods her head, despite having absolutely no eveidence of this. THis si similart to how Isreal blames Iran for Hamas actions, when it is a matter of fact that Isreal has been funding Hams as a rival to the secular Palestinians. Isral considers Hamas an asset.
It is so ridiculous when so called Human Rights Activists and Journalists talk about what's going on Sudan and pretend that the United States doesn't play a role in pepetuating the violence. UAE and Egypt are puppets of the United States, and they could not do any thing the US did not want them to do. The United states sold Saudia Arabia billions of dollars of weapons, resulting in a genocide in Yemen. IF UAE is supporting the Rapid SUpport Forces, why isn't the US sanctioning the UAE? Because the US supports their actions. The United States has military bases in the UAE and other Gulf States. Also US has military base in Syria and stealing thier oil. The United States attacked and destroyed three Arab countries. Iraq, Libiya and Syria. The US used chemiceal weapons on the Iraqis, and no one was prosecuted for these war crtimes.None of the Western Demcoracies that sold Saddam Hussein weapons, then scapegoated the Iraqi people for it, were ever prosecuted for their war crimes. When Has the United States ever done anything positive for Africa? The US assinates demcratically elected leaders, props up dictators, sell weapons to fuel wars, (they often sell weapons to both sides of a conflict). Look up the 2 articles "US sanctions ex-Israeli general [ Israel Ziv ] for $150 million in arms sales to South Sudan" and "US lifts sanctions on ex-IDF general accused of arms sales to South Sudan" which appear on "The Times of Israel" website. Isreal sells weapons to both sides of conflict in South Sudan, but denies it and claims it was helping the country with its agriculture. I could not find any articles about how Isreal has actually helped South Sudan with agriculture. Its a shame Westerners turn a blind eye to the role thier governments play in destroying countries, not only in Africa, but also the Middle East, South America, Asia, plus Haiti
The real evil are the ones who pushed Sudan into division and breakup.
You got brothers killing brothers so that others can take that land and control the resources
Free Sudan and free Palestine
This shouldn’t happen to anyone
Propaganda from hamas and hezbolah. I don't know why anyone would believe terrorists reports. They are evil, and they are the enemy! And, the land belongs to Israel. It's never been a palestinian state. Look up the history for heaven sake. Also, any time any country attempts to send food, etc. Hamas steals it so they can blame the IDF. You people need to open your eyes. Your enemy is HAMAS and HEZBOLAH!! They don't care about you or the children.
Free America from AIPAC
Free Palestine from Arab Muslims in Gaza & West Bank
Arab militias...
@@user-mk1et9pz7y Free the Israelis and the Palestinians from Satanyahu, IDF, and their far right government
thanks Democracy now for this . Too much suffering is going on in Sudan . Time for this to end .
Does everybody remember a huge protest rally in Washington? DC and April, o9.. on this and this was denounced be . What had been going on when to be stopped? And Mr. Spark smirk Obama made a little speech. He said with a a smirk We have to get the approval of Congress. Didn't apply to Libya or Syria. Or other war, he started as the boss of un security council, but it applied to Sudan.approval of congress he said .. And nobody did anything. .. And from 2009 to 2014. .. . 3 million people were slaughtered in Sudan.
Why won’t the UN send In protection forces and rescue these people?? Send in Humanitarian Aid with the Security Forces!!!
Black on Arabs.
The UN is busy with Gaza, wait in line
The UN insecurity specifically names Sudan in early 2000s as one of the 7 nations without a centralized banking system.
Libya, Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Nkorea, and cuba..it's pretty clear what's going on..if one only thinks like the military death politicult, ecultonomics..it's crystal clear, no, its diamond clear..
It's all about money. No fund. The fund for Gaza because it relates to Israel. They don't want to let the world look bad on Israel. So, they support the Palestinians on aid. If not, Gaza will be just like Sudan. No one care.
The UN is America basically and we all know they could care less
So everyone crying about Gaza having a genocide while Sudan is going a wayyy worse hell
Racial prejudice ? !
@@Ari-ih2nlAnti-Jewish prejudice. Muslims get a pass because they aren't so called "white colonialists".
This is where the Left's warped and obscene hatred of Israel has led it. "If you want our sympathy, pick a fight with the IDF. Otherwise don't bother to call"
racism and hypocrisy! 😥😥🤣🤣
Does not fit the narrative and these people have no voice.
😢 world is going mad
Jesus is the way the truth and the life. Nobody goes to the Father except through Jesus. The bible is the best history book tou could ever read as well as the best future book. Everything happening now has been written of in the bible.
@evangelesong6319
Bible is historically incorrect.
It uses the title Pharoah within an era where the word was never used
@Oy10n history is incorrect. We've seen what happens.....statues knocked down, books rewritten, words cancelled, artifacts hidden. My testimony of what Jesus has done in my life cannot be refuted.
@evangelesong6319
It can be refuted because the same things happens to Hindus and Muslims and Atheists 😁👍
Speak on it!!!!!!!!!!!! It’s sooooooooo bad in Sudan and it’s not getting as nearly as much attention!!!! All hands on deck!!!!!!!
Who cares about Sudan?
@@roiissac158Me i care about Sudan ,congo ,Haiti ,Gaza .Those suffering oppression .
@@awakenedsoulx9431 Good for you! So you're against Hamas and the PA that opressing their people.
@@roiissac158 A lot of people. No need to comment this
@@roiissac158 👍👍Peace loving muslims, at it again!! Lets leave them to it 😄😄
Sad. The world ignores genocides now 😢
why now? It's always been like that.
What wound you recommend ??... What Plan of Action ??.... I wanna hear it .. Since the world appears to be a mess, who and or how can the whole world be policed?.. I know I don't want My Family members of the U.S. Military sent to stop this mess
What the Fffff !! The leaders should be ashamed
Ever goid leader gets taken out one way or another by the West.. this is the new way to keep Africa from uniting and from flourishing..
EVIL HAS SPREAD LIKE THE PLAGUE 👺
HUMANITY IS DYING - .
APOCALYPTIC LEVELS OF SADISM BEING LIVE STREAMED BECOMES THE NEW NORMAL 💔
War has never ended mankind is sick, because the way of unity of not in the hearts of men. Men who kill on person will then go on to kill more, then it becomes easy. What people get use to becomes a norm. It’s start with misinformation about other minority groups…sickening I pray for all these people..
Where the pious muslims ....where is the African union
Where’s the AU, UN, ICC? Where are they?
They don't care. Only the Palestinians are real victims according to the narrative of the left and the Islamists.
Unfortunately a lot of African are backing su RSF leader Himidti, I believe they're influenced by UAE to do so.
@@playerlive4081 wheres the BBC, CNN, ITV 1,2,3 & 4, SKY, NETFLIX.....and SHUDDER?!
African union is just trying to stay in power.
UAE is complicit in this
Humans are the worst sav-ages to each other! These atrocities should stop!
Thank you for bringing attention to Sudan & Darfur, Democracy Now! War & factional conflict has brought unfathomable suffering & destruction to the people in the region.
SUDAN is a definition of hypocrisy. The way no one cares about them is so disappointing
What happen in Sudan? Is it the regime or racist/tribe conflict or other else?
@@Uda007 Ethnic cleansing, it's almost like genocide. It's even worse because Sudan is a poor country. People are even eating sand. Millions have fled from the country and those who stay even die from hunger and no medical attention. It's between two political countries. I heard 1 of these organizations get help from Iran
@@Impiloiscam How is it an ethnic cleansing if they are all from the same race or maybe the same or similar ethnic. Sorry... I don't understand the African culture very well. I only know white and black discrimination. But among the black people themselves, I am still confused why they hate on each other's except for wealth, land, tribes, religion, or political power.
@@Uda007thinking all Africa people are the same is like everyone in asia is the same. In Africa a lot of tribes are very distinct from each other with different languages and cultures. The war on sudan specifically is not about race although RSF malitia men are very racist and will take any chance they get to commit their atrocities in the name of race superiority or whatever. I'm an Arab sudanese myself RSF killed a lot of my relatives and friends who are also arab, and the keep promising to kill and mass rape northern arab tribes. So you can conclude that the RSF leadership do not have any specified goal or agenda other than rulling sudan but the malitia men themselves are absolutely racist and aim for nothing other than looting and raping women and children.
@@Uda007 Not all Africans are black and we're not all from same ethnic groups nor same tribes, we also have different languages and cultures
Thank you for highlighting this
I was mysteriously unsubscribed from Democracy Now.
That tells me that you guys are doing a great job of reporting on the horrors of us humans.
Surprised you found the time to care about Sudan given your Gaza love ❤
What is the purpose of the UN in the security Council if its job is to prevent things like this and to enforce the arms embargo but when you still have things like this ethnic cleansing going on in Palestine and going on in the sedan nothing or no one stops it nothing or no one steps in so what is their job?
The role of the security council is to condemn Israel. Period. So, who cares about Sudan?
It’s because the 5 permanent members of the security council use their veto powers for their own agenda. That’s why the UN can’t move forward so often.
There should be no permanent members and no veto power
The UN is a corrupt joke and has been for a very long time.
Because usa empire of evil control un and they the ones who are allowing this to happen
Has been happening since 2003. Where could be help for "peacekeeping"? The reporter asked the question: who is arming the two sides?
Yes, the question was asked twice. both times the answer came back-- well, it's "murky". They should at least be able to say where the weapons are manufactured.
Thanks for reporting on this
Why is UN silent about this genocide. How is it different from Gaza???
no jews 2 blame. so no one cares
I don’t think it’s been silent. There are differences between the civil war in Sudan and the occupation by Israel of Palestine. Both include war crimes and potential genocide.
Because there is no big American war dollars involved
There is only one genocide going on in the world, and it is in Gaza. How is it different? you can't blame the jew about Sudan
This is gaza but wayyyy worse.
Many people are blind to the horrific crimes and abuse towards the people of Sudan 😢 this has been going on for decades…. praying for my brothers and sisters of Sudan and all of Africa!
Free Free Sudan 🇸🇩 🇸🇩🇸🇩
Why no protests?
HIAS didn’t send as many Sundanese to the west as they did Arabs?
Humanity has gone crazy !
It is not 'humanity' but the generals, presidents, and militaristic ruling classes that are doing this, not ordinary people.
Thanks Sheikh and Amy.
Genocide isn't against the law anymore or maybe it never was
If Zio's don't need to follow these laws, why should anyone else?
@@MargaretCho-pt3ngI have been wondering about that myself. I think we may have people getting together.
Yes. The indefensible support of the US for the genocide by Is ra l has now lead to everything goes. The US can never condem horrific violence by any nation as it does not comply with international law at all. Never really has.
History has witness such horrific CRIMES and the ,'ones' behind it , continued with the same type of ' Business ' as they have ALWAYS done before , seemingly going unscathed and unscaled.The question IS , will these thype of Beyond Gruesome and horrific uphivels, and unspeakable CRIMES , be allowed to continue , AGAIN and AGAIN ... the ☀️ p l a n a t ☀️, the PEOPLE
@@MargaretCho-pt3ngNo cares about genocide unless you can blame Israel. Hamas has its goal the genocide of Jews. They openly advocate it.
Who is funding these violent marauding forces? Where is US, UN, UK, Russia, France, Germany? Why is this allowed to take place? What is the difference?
Is the genocide happening in darfur now happening to the same people who experienced it 20 years ago in darfur?
Who cares?
On the same people by the same criminals
@@MoaazEltayeb thanks, that is important context to know
You got it!
Todah Demo Now these stories all over Africa of genocide mostly being ignored and swept under the rug Amy and crew at DN keep the lights on!✊🏾
Finally!!! No one is reporting on the situations taking place in Africka. Thank you DN...
Despicable! How could that happen in modern times. Just criminal.
Kudos to DN for reminding us of the horrors inflicted on the Sudanese people
Please please stop this monster 👹 now
My heart breaks for the African nations that are robbed of their agency by foreign nations. I hope for a future of a continental african union that can defend itself against the worlds greed.
Our humanity is turning a new page again.
Who are the foreigners 🥱
I thought that was obvious 🧐
Who is arming the RSF?
Thank you for this report. I am very focused on Gaza and it is hard to react to everything.
same here. there is too much evil in the world. humanity is a cancerous tumor on the planet.
You should focus on Gaza and Gaza only. Other problem are not important
@@roiissac158 it's possible to focus on more than one atrocity.
@@margaretjohnson6259 The reality prove different. Also, in Gaza hundreds of thousands are dying every week, so Sudan doesn't count
@@roiissac158 sudan COUNTS. people are people. any horror is worthy of consideration. all of it. anywhere it happens. even in the usa where women are losing their rights. i can have empathy for millions of people. if you can't you are broken.

more needs to be said!
Thank you for covering this, I feel like Africa gets so little coverage and I'm not sure why.
Protect and Free Sudan 🇸🇩, La Hawla Wa La Quwwata Illa Billahil Aliyyil Azim
See so many other issues that are being ignored because everyone thinks only thing going on in the world is Israel and GAZA when there is worse going on in Sudan
Sudan, Congo, Somalia,Israel and Palestine has always had wars going on as far as my memory stretches...l am 40yrs old
United nations looks guilty in this. You mentioned names that are involved with limited tracking? She didn't say who supporting rsf and they sound like terrorists.
So tragic.
I wonder if Chad and Central African Republic will do anything as they are being overwhelmed with refugees.
South Sudan also has a pipeline that runs through Sudan which has been ruptured. That oil is South Sudan’s main source of income so that could also bring them into the conflict.
Neither side is the legitimate leaders of the country either.
It’s very messy and the poor people are stuck there on the verge of famine on top of all the killing.
The UN needs to send in peacekeepers NOW. As they should in Palestine
Shame on our world leaders for not putting a stop to this
Not putting a stop to it???? They are aiding and abetting them!
God please help! 🙏🏾
I remember watching videos last year of Dafur civilians fleeing to chad many were shot/killed trying to run into chad. Some of the lucky ones survived and only got shot in thejr butt leg or back. Sad!! They assumed 150,0000 Darfur were murdered last year i couldn't Imahine whay that number is now.
thank you Amy. 😢
Oh this is a nightmare! 🫣
Yet no protests anywhere even though the suffering is far worse than in Gaza. Hypocrisy personified.
can we help them at all? charities or donations or something???
That help won't reach them just like Gaza! Evil is rulling for now.
the question then comes down to, who is backing the factions and how does the US figure into it. Why have we not seen more of this? Genocide is NEVER justified, by anyone!
I am horrified we don't learn about this in school
I’m here watching this and the whole world should so a change could be made! You not alone civilians of Sudan 🙏🏾😞
I feel such great pity for the poor victims of Darfur! Keep up the reporting. It needs to be known. Another genocide that needs attention is going on in north Nigeria. 100,000 Christians have been murdered by Islamists and few seem to care.
Senseless kllings
That is a wake up call. It’s hardly ever in the news.
How long does this civil war been going on?
Is 2 side going mad
Where are the demonstrating university students?
Sorry you didn’t answer the question?
Who support each army!
Why is South Africa not taking action against this madness?
Because SA about to go into Civil War over the summer elections. South Africa is useless now.
😢💔💔💔
I like that Amy wears the same clothes over & over, a true minimalist👏🏾
I'm surprised the US aren't also covering for and arming the monsters here.
China has been indenturing African countries with infrastructure investments (debt-trap diplomacy), they are likely involved. US is all about oil from the middle east and stirring up controversy over there to come in at the end and assert, per the usual.
@@Earl_E_Burd watch gdf's vid on why iraq wasn't about oil
Trust they have their hand in it somehow.
Yeah, the US does not sell arms to Sudan. Directly anyway.
Doesn't World human rights organization have the authority and obligations to provide the means to prevent such atrocities ?
They are afraid it's looking like.
Human Right Organizations do what they can ,the problem is that if there is no political will to solve or prevent a conflict international law is just empty words.
Great appreciation for the reply acknowledgement of international human rights organizations is that they are not a human rights organization.
Muslims are pretty well protected in the world community as you know.
Where is Free Sudan people?

So were is the money coming from little resources.out side gas transit.
I agree with some of you and some of the comments ... I just dont agree with expecting THE U.S.A. and Western Nations for everything that the populations of these countries do.. Their Governments are required to step up and step in to keep order!
When was Belkis last in Sudan, let alone Darfur? Why are you showing archive pictures and singing the old Darfur song from 2003?
What are they fighting about?
Best thing the human race can do at this point is to prepare to defend their homes , family and pray to God the world comes to its senses ... Because this madness is spreading fast
If you want to know who is arming them all you have to do is look at what resources the region has and whos companies are invested in them.
Dont be surprised when you find American corporations w ties to the area... Im sure theres others as well and they will be the ones that pal around w America.
100%.. this is the new occupation.. they just changed tactics
US is arming RSF. And RSF pays US in gold
AMY STOP IT! !!! THE HYPOCRACY............
This is very brave reporting. Thank you. The war machine never ends- it's abhorrent that countries are supplying weapons to this fight
It's great that you turn some of the attention to this conflict which far exceeds that in Gaza in the number of victims.
This one almost exclusively concerns Muslims on all sides so it is sometimes overlooked.
“Democracy Now” should be changed to “Democracy when we find it convenient”.
"The strong do what they can. The weak suffer what they must." ~ Thucydides
What’s behind this conflict ? ( eg which side is Muslim?)
SAD.
This warrants more attention than the Israeli war going.
