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
@@kingmufasa8929 stop unjust hierarchies
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.
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
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.
Horrifying! The world must come together and stop these killings of civilians in Sudan.
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.
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.
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
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..
Thank you Democracy Now this is really important!
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
You got brothers killing brothers so that others can take that land and control the resources
My God, those poor kids, mothers, babies. Are these people ever going to have any peace. This is absolutely heartbreaking 💔 😢
thanks Democracy now for this . Too much suffering is going on in Sudan . Time for this to end .
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.
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.
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.
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.
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".
Why no protests?
UAE is complicit in this
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.
😢 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 😁👍
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..
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 🧐
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 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.
Is the genocide happening in darfur now happening to the same people who experienced it 20 years ago in darfur?
Who cares?
Thank you for bringing attention to Sudan & Darfur, Democracy Now! War & factional conflict has brought unfathomable suffering & destruction to the people in the region.
Finally!!! No one is reporting on the situations taking place in Africka. Thank you DN...
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 🇸🇩 🇸🇩🇸🇩
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.
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..
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.
Despicable! How could that happen in modern times. Just criminal.
Thank you for highlighting this
Has been happening since 2003. Where could be help for "peacekeeping"? The reporter asked the question: who is arming the two sides?
Shame on our world leaders for not putting a stop to this
more needs to be said!
Surprised you found the time to care about Sudan given your Gaza love ❤
Thanks Sheikh and Amy.
Humanity has gone crazy !
It is not 'humanity' but the generals, presidents, and militaristic ruling classes that are doing this, not ordinary people.
Humans are the worst sav-ages to each other! These atrocities should stop!
Thanks for reporting on this
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?
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!✊🏾
Please please stop this monster 👹 now
Thank you for covering this, I feel like Africa gets so little coverage and I'm not sure why.
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.
Who is arming the RSF?
I am horrified we don't learn about this in school
As usual, the United States ...European Union. ..nato Stand back and watch..and do nothing... same thing's going on...in 2000 in2003 two thousandand 6 .. 2009. Itstart up again. Must be a lot of oil and gas... To. get out of that land . ..like Gaza.
Ain't our problem you solve your shit we're not your parents
We get involved you cry, we don't get involved you cry even more😂 What are you 12?
RUSSIA AND CHINA SHOULD STEP UP. THE USA IS TIRED OF THIS NONSENSE
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
Protect and Free Sudan 🇸🇩, La Hawla Wa La Quwwata Illa Billahil Aliyyil Azim
Sudan, Congo, Somalia,Israel and Palestine has always had wars going on as far as my memory stretches...l am 40yrs old
Yet no protests anywhere even though the suffering is far worse than in Gaza. Hypocrisy personified.
Excellent report.
Kudos to DN for reminding us of the horrors inflicted on the Sudanese people
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.
God please help! 🙏🏾
Senseless kllings
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.
😢💔💔💔
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!
Oh this is a nightmare! 🫣
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.
So were is the money coming from little resources.out side gas transit.
When was Belkis last in Sudan, let alone Darfur? Why are you showing archive pictures and singing the old Darfur song from 2003?
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
Sorry you didn’t answer the question?
Who support each army!

Is 2 side going mad
“We are the aggressors... They arm both sides, they plan the wars. You with Christ go to eternal life. They burn forever and they know that. They don’t care, they hate God. - Harold Rosenthal. We know what’s going on.
This warrants more attention than the Israeli war going.
I like that Amy wears the same clothes over & over, a true minimalist👏🏾
Wtf is with these trolls in the comment section. Jesus Christ
DN! is a great show, but attracts some of the worst bot commenters.

You are a troll with Jesus Christ.
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
This is very brave reporting. Thank you. The war machine never ends- it's abhorrent that countries are supplying weapons to this fight
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!
SAD.
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.
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
Iran is in no way shape or form involved in Sudan!.
They have recently joined in arming the Sudan security forces. This is despite their lack of respect for each other. It’s a bit of the enemy of my enemy is my friend

Same thing on this opposite end, the shortage in poor communication has left a time gap. The gap is in help for very poor houses. The people can't fix the plumbing and electric power ports indoors. Once they can't keep up with the shortage in church hands enough to fix these things at no cost to the poor, the poor get worse off. The power to the house has to stay on so they'll pay it. Then they'll sell the clothes dryer to pay the broken toilet for example. And one house repair disaster begets a secondary disaster in a network who doesn't do that, or can't for free from a church.
So the poor get uglier looking. Thevclohhes stay dirty and stink. Theu can't use as much water.
That's everything adults know about. Kids don't but these are records for kids ten years from now.
Today, California has been delayed in responding to everyone over the mountains. We cannot rise up. Because the prices ingjdtevhoo high down here where the United States of hope comes to raise themselves a service fee for whatever they're doing over the mountains.
So what we need is the world knows we are the LAST to find away to go upstairs.
If California's missionaries won't make tool use of the buildings s community centers for the upkeep of the home - FIRST, NOT SECOND to the family, the family will be in a fallout shelter run by the other church. There, the remaining family members won't have the care of the youngers who get kicked out first when the home of their seniors gets too crowded to be a charitable place to fall on when the world above is collapsing on your wallets and purses, and plumbing, car or truck repairs, weatherization to the house are decaying and they can't see in the pages of who to call and lines of funny writing...WHO will fix the bathroom pipes and the kitchen drain so they can shower on a regular basis.
I believe the older generation dies best talking after they've run around for they're younger years. At age 50 our parents are dying in California and we don't see an easy resourceful welfare system to call on.
I should be able to make 1 phone call to the church next door to get their phone network to get a plumber, tree trimmer and mechanic out here in 1 day or less to start fixing a built in, broken house tool such as a ceiling fan fixture.
Instead,..no. There's no such reactionary resort to adapt to WE, the PEOPLE'S meanings.
All we have to notice us is 'cement'.
To me, that's the sellers of these goods separating themselves from the buyers too far for the good of the buyers who buy less.
Cement is hard to sell to a household and it's a FIRST SECOND to bring a holding company who builds houses or warehouses. It's a floor.
Oh look, something else we don't need to be involved in.
Wow something to think about
What people with money are able todo
Certain people. This is making me sick
It's so funny that this woman reported about Sudan.
Our world hates itself.
First they enjoy democracy,donations,freedom of speech and when they got majority they want shariya and we all know that under shariya what happened to peoples
