On April 15, 2023, the Sudanese military launched a series of airstrikes on targets in Darfur, located in the western part of the country. The airstrikes were targeting Russian-backed Janjaweed militias, which have been accused of carrying out atrocities against civilians in Darfur. The airstrikes come amid a growing humanitarian crisis in Darfur, where more than 2 million people have been displaced since the conflict began in 2003.
However, the Sudanese military has been accused of human rights abuses in Darfur. The International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir in 2005 for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Darfur. Bashir was ousted from power in 2019, but the violence in Darfur has continued. The airstrikes on Darfur have been condemned by the United Nations and human rights groups. The United Nations has called for an independent investigation into the airstrikes, and human rights groups have accused the Sudanese military of targeting civilians.
This crisis in Darfur is a reminder of the ongoing conflict in Sudan. The country has been plagued by civil war and political instability for decades. Currently, Sudan is in a state of transition following the overthrow of Omar al-Bashir in 2019, but the transition has been rocky. The country is facing a number of challenges, including economic hardship, political instability, and violence in Darfur. We will bring you more updates on this developing story as they become available.
