R.S.F. in Sudan Declare Parallel Government Amid Assault on Zamzam Camp

A Sudanese paramilitary group declared its own Wednesday, as did the fighters pressed a total offensive in a city in the Western Darfur region that has sent hundreds of thousands of civilians or camp.

The announcement of a parallel government for the rapid support forces, or RSF, fueled the fears that the two -year civil war of Sudan is rapidly pushing the country towards a possible territorial division. The RSF controls much of the west and southern Sudan, while the military possess the north and the east, including the Jardtum capital. Both parties have been accused or atrocities.

The RSF leader, General Mohamed Hamdan, few interesting details about the composition of what his “peace and unity government” called, apart from saying that he would include a wide range of ethnic grouts “the true face of Sudan.”

Such calls to inclusion echo the long -standing demands by Sudanese pro -democracy activists, who oppose the grip of the military on power. But as an Orte in the brutal conflict in Sudan, the high -minded rhetoric of the RSF disagree with the actions of its troops.

The paramilitarians launched a large -scale offensive on Friday, assaulting the Zamzam camp in the Phase, the last important city of Darfur that the RSF does not control, as part of a broader assault. On Tuesday, the United Nations said that at least 300 people had been killed and that many other 400,000 others forced to flee the camp in a matter of days.

Zamzam, who housed at least 500,000 people and where he declared a famine last August, now he is largely empty, according to workers helps. They say that at least 30,000 people have fled to Tawila, 50 miles by road west, and many arrived dehydrated, malnourished and traumatized by the scenes they witnessed in the camp.

“They have nothing more than the clothes they wear, nothing to eat, nothing to drink,” said Marion Ramstein, emergency field coordinator for doctors without borders, in an email. “Many were in shock. They talked about so many murders and corpses.”

Doctors Without Borders closed their own operations in Zamzam in February, saying that bombing, attacks against ambulances and an adjustment had made it impossible to work there.

On Tuesday, the spokeswoman for the State Department, Tammy Bruce, said that the United States “condemns in the strongest terms” violence directed by RSF in the Estar. But she refused to say if the Trump administration would affirm the determination of the Biden administration that the RSF had committed genocide.

The last violence coincided with the second anniversary of the conflict, which began in April 2023 when the fight between the Sudanese army and the RSF broke out, a paramilitary group that once encouraged.

The war took an abrupt turn in recent weeks when the army expelled the RSF fighters of the capital, Jardum. Many fled to Darfur, where the RSF has regrouped and is now redoubled his one -year effort to capture El Pasher.

The growing violence and bad communications have hindered the precise image of the situation, but the estimation of the United Nations that almost half a million people had been displaced in a matter of days was surprising, even according to the standards of the Largd’s Lard of Largd Largd of Largd Largd.

The devastation has renewed the focus on the role of the United Arab Emirates in the conflict. American and UN officials have accused him of supply

The government dominated by the Sudan Army has presented a case against the Emirates, which opened last week in the International Court of Justice in The Hague, accusing it of complicity in the genocide. The Emirates asked that the case be expelled.

In Washington, the members of the Congress renewed the calls for the United States to stop weapons to the Emirates until they stop supporting the RSF

“The EAU should stop their support from Material to the RSF now,” the representative Sara Jacobs or California wrote on Tuesday on social networks.

American officials have said that high -ranking Emirati leaders were more sincere about their role in Sudan, including tacit admissions of support for the RSF, private conversations with duration with administration officials Biden last year.

On Tuesday, hundreds of Sudanese accumulated the Emiratis embassy in London to protest the supposed Emirati role in the war, in a demonstration that coincided with an important conference on Sudan organized by the British government.

The European Union and Great Britain promised $ 830 million in addition

In a statement, Lana Nusseibeh, an assistant minister of political affairs in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Emirati, accused both parties in the war of atrocities and said that the EAU were issuing “an urgent call of peace.”
