U.S. condemns RSF siege of El Fasher, warns external backers
2024-05-26
[SUDANTRIBUNE] U.S. Ambassador to the UN, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, strongly condemned the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) for their siege of El Fasher and warned external backers against continued support to the warring parties.

On Friday, the Security Council held a private meeting to discuss Sudan’s complaint against the United Arab Emirates, which is accused of fuelling the conflict in Sudan and providing weapons and logistics to the paramilitary group.

In a statement released after the meeting, Ambassador Thomas-Greenfield condemned the RSF for their siege on El Fasher and their role in the deteriorating humanitarian situation.

“The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) continues to tighten its siege on El Fasher – stoking military escalation, cutting off critical lifelines, and inching closer to launching a large-scale massacre not seen since the conflict began,” she stated.

The U.S. ambassador underscored that Washington has already begun to impose sanctions on the group’s leaders responsible for these military operations.

“The RSF must pull back its forces from El Fasher or face further consequences,” she warned.

I thought it was Dearborn, Michigan, USA.

As for Sudan falling apart, Winston Churchill is no doubt looking down from on high and shaking his head.

#3  That is an internecine struggle that pits the tribals of the west against the traditional Arab leaders of the Arab homeland of the Nile Region. It has happened before when the Mahdi came out of the West to take control of the Arab homeland. The British created the boundaries of the huge modern state of the Sudan, and the nation lasted for more than a century. It is now falling apart, but no one seems to have the foggiest idea what should replace it.
