Western concern
In a related context, the United States, Britain, and Norway condemned, in a joint statement on Friday, the escalation of violence and human rights violations in Sudan, especially in the Darfur region.
The three countries referred to the attacks launched by the Rapid Support Forces in Darfur. These forces largely emerged from allied Arab groups and militias known as the Janjaweed.
The statement stated that, according to documented reports, these attacks include mass killings of non-Arabs, the killing of traditional leaders, unjust detention, and obstruction of humanitarian aid.
The statement added that there are also concerns about reports of targeting civilians in the Jabal Awliya locality overlooking the White Nile.
The three donor countries, which call their group the Troika, called for an end to the fighting, and urged both parties to calm down and engage in meaningful talks that would lead to a ceasefire and the entry of unhindered humanitarian aid.
The gains made by the Rapid Support Forces in the western and southern parts of Sudan ended a months-long stalemate in their war against the Sudanese army, and these gains also increase the ambitions of these paramilitary forces.
