From Monitoring to Action: Preventing Atrocities in Sudan
Since April 15, Sudan has been engulfed in violence between the Sudan Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces. The fighting quickly spread from the capital to Darfur, where reports of mass killings and ethnic cleansing echo the horrors of the 2003 Darfur genocide. Amid the continued fighting, organizations like the Sudan Conflict Observatory and the Youth Citizen Observers Network have placed a spotlight on the movement of military equipment, the destruction of property and civilian infrastructure, patterns of rapid population shifts, as well as violations of international human rights law and cease-fire agreements.
