Sudan. The paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) conquer the Sudanese army’s last stronghold in the Darfur region and commit mass executions and atrocities so severe that researchers at the Yale Humanitarian Lab described them as the worst seen in 25 years. The United Arab Emirates (UAE) supports the RSF, fueling the war in Sudan. This three-year conflict has led to one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises, with millions displaced and thousands killed. The massacre is visible from space: satellite images around the Sudanese town of El-Fasher show the streets and mud stained red with the blood of over 2,000 massacred civilians. In Darfur, the RSF commits targeted, ethnically motivated violence against non-Arab populations.
