The Khartoum warfare has resulted to the whole country’s economy shutdown as the insecurity surge all over the country Darfour region inclusively.

Different Young men as considerably expected to have sided with the paramilitary RSF which has resulted to an uncontrollable situation in different constituencies countrywide.

For Darfour region Civilians have begun arming themselves, as they organise their own defence forces to protect themselves against attacks as it is a region known to be very tribalistic and conflict based thus local defences are putted in place from rival tribes as well as the feared paramilitary known as the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).

The RSF is currently involved in a violent power struggle with its former ally, the Sudanese army, resulting in a security vacuum that armed tribes are now exploiting. According to source of information.

A human right activist and local journalist from Darfour region reportedly said that the Khartoum insecurity poses a lot of threats to the people of Darfour because nobody is around to control these [Arab] militias.

According to source of information, it is believed that the current violence could result into targeted ethnic violence, particularly in el-Geneina, the capital of West Darfour which has been known for a long time to be a fighting zone between Arab and non-Arab tribes .

Meanwhile the non-Arab tribes have said Arab tribes have attacked non-Arabs, burning government shelters and camps for internal displaced refugees.

The ongoing violence in Sudan has resulted into looting and burning of international organizations blocks and many other NGO operating in the country.

the local police – mostly consisting of non-Arabs – have called on members of their communities to arm and defend themselves.

“If you don’t have a chance to run away, then you need to look for guns,” Gouja said.

These flares ups Comes after
Terrible precedents
Since protests toppled Sudan’s former authoritarian leader Omar al-Bashir in 2019, El Geneina has witnessed frequent flareups in violence.

The Arab Rizeigat tribe is particularly at odds with the non-Arab Masalit because both compete over dwindling land and water resources.

The former has often retaliated with collective punishment against the Masalit to settle personal disputes, residents and rights groups said.

In 2019, the killing of a Rizeigat man in the Krinding displacement camp, where members of the Masalit tribe live, set off an attack by Arab fighters.

Survivors said a local commander in the RSF spearheaded the violence, which killed 72 people.

Less than two years later, Rizeigat gunmen attacked camps for displaced Masalit people again, killing at least 138 people, according to local medics.

Now with all eyes on the fighting between the RSF and the army in Sudan’s capital, Khartoum, Rizeigat militias are moving to capture land and resources in Darfur, local and international monitors warned.

“Violence is definitely taking an ethnic dimension in Geneina, and it’s not surprising,” said Mathilde Vu from the Norwegian Refugee Council. “We have terrible precedents.”

“People won’t be caught in crossfire. They will be targeted,” she said.

Violence in Darfur could be exploited by the RSF and the army as each tries to consolidate control across the country.

Even before the war, both parties had stepped up recruitment in Darfur, according to a recent report on Sudan by a United Nations panel of experts.

The Sudanese flareup stared on world wide as these African largest nation always face internal warfares just like the Democratic Republic of Congo.
