Will the International Community Act? Preschool Massacre & "Large Piles of Bodies" in Sudan



The world's largest conflict by scale is in Sudan, where tens of thousands have been killed and millions displaced since fighting broke out between the UAE-backed paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and the Sudanese military (SAF) in April 2023. Last week, the RSF attacked a kindergarten, killing over 40 children. "Almost every part of Sudan is somehow impacted by this war," which has been rife with reports of child killings and widespread sexual violence, says Sudanese political analyst Kholood Khair. Satellite imagery reviewed by researcher Nathaniel Raymond of the Yale School of Public Health depicts the RSF-captured city of El Fasher as a "ghost town," indicating a major civilian massacre carried out by the UAE-supported paramilitary group. Khair draws attention to the shortfall in humanitarian funding being directed to Sudan, and urges international actors to financially support civil society groups and the U.N. crisis response fund. "Nobody is helping them. No one is putting money and resources to them to enable them to save lives."
