The European Union has condemned an escalation of violence in Sudan’s western Darfur region, warning of the danger of another genocide in Darfur.
The EU‘s top diplomat Josep Borrell condemned atrocities against Darfur’s Masalit people and spoke of an ethnic cleansing campaign.
Borrell said the latest atrocities are seemingly part of a wider ethnic cleansing campaign conducted by the RSF with the aim to eradicate the non-Arab Masalit community from west Darfur, and comes on top of the first wave of large violence in June.
According to him, the international community cannot turn a blind eye on what is happening in Darfur and allow another genocide to happen in the region.
The region has been destabilized since April due to a conflict between Sudan’s regular army and the rapid support forces (RSF) paramilitary.
