RSF military seizure of Um Baru & Abu Gamra puts the militia within 100 km of Tina (Darfur) & Tiné (Chad)

RSF military seizure of Um Baru & Abu Gamra puts the militia within 100 km of Tina (Darfur) & Tiné (Chad). Hundreds of thousands of displaced civilians have passed through Tina/Tiné, are headed to the area, or are surviving there now, despite woefully inadequate humanitarian response.

The effort is almost certainly, as one Sudan Tribune source from the Joint Forces indicates, “to control remote areas bordering Chad to secure a new supply line via the Tine crossing."

Despite RSF claims that this military push is all for the purpose of civilian protection—an utterly preposterous claim, given RSF actions in El Fasher, El #Geneina, and scores of other villages, towns, and cities in Sudan—it puts at acute risk all those on both sides of the Darfur/Chad, Tina/Tiné border, as well as the humanitarian relief efforts they so desperately need.

The fall of El Fasher in October gives us all too clear a picture of what lies in store for this part of Dar Zaghawa at the hands of the RSF.
