The Bloody War Over Sudan's Gold

The violence in El Fasher, located in Sudan’s Darfur region, has reached such an extreme level that bloodstains on the ground are visible from space. For the past year and a half, a militia group known as the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has relentlessly attacked the city. Last week, El Fasher fell, resulting in a mass slaughter of civilians.

Over the last two years, conflict in Sudan has forced 12 million people to flee their homes. More than 150,000 people have lost their lives, marking this as the largest humanitarian crisis in the world.

The violence is reportedly supported and facilitated by the United Arab Emirates, a major Western ally, which raises serious concerns about Western inaction and potential complicity in the crisis.
