More than 800 Sudanese reportedly killed in an attack on a Darfur town, the UN says

[JohnSJ]

"CAIRO — Fighters from a paramilitary force and their allied Arab militias rampaged through a town in Sudan's war-ravaged region of Darfur, reportedly killing more than 800 people in a multiday attack, doctors and the U.N. said.

The attack on Ardamata in West Darfur province earlier this month was the latest in a series of atrocities in Darfur that marked the monthslong war between the Sudanese military and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, RSF.

...........

The Darfur Bar Association, an advocacy group, accused RSF fighters of committing "all types of serious violations against defenseless civilians" in Ardamata. It cited an attack on Nov. 6 during which the RSF killed more than 50 people including a tribal leader and his family.

The UNHCR said more than 800 people have been reportedly killed and 8,000 others fled to neighboring Chad. The agency, however, said the number of people who fled was likely to be an underestimate due to challenges registering new arrivals to Chad."

1. Sorry your OP has sunk like a lead weight...

Unfortunately the victims in Darfur aren't pretty blonde Ukrainian women who an MSNBC reporter was brought to tears interviewing... then saying out loud, "They're just like us"

Or belong to one or more ethnic groups in the mid-east with strong "fan clubs".

So... crickets.

2. More "ethnic cleansing"

humans need to be better.

People killed who just want to live their lives, for the egos of arrogant madmen who want power.

It makes me sick. Everywhere it happens.

7. Huh wonder if the fact that we're not sending billions of dollars a year to the ones committing genocide has anything to

do with the lack of protests, probs just a coincidence

10. This war by ORGANIZED RELIGION started 40 years ago.

But in America -"Hey, it's only Africa, right?"

22 years ago I first photographed, then helped to settle these 7 refugees in America. They were the most worthy, valuable people I've ever encountered, to this day. All 7 finished high school, went to college, and became U.S. citizens. The plight of Sudanese victims is just as important and compelling as any other ethnic group under siege. Wake up, world.
