Sudan’s paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, or RSF, say they’re ready to join cease-fire talks. This comes after the United States invited warring sides to the table in an effort to end the conflict. US officials will mediate the talks in August, with the African Union, the United Nations and others acting as observers.
The war in Sudan has been ongoing for over a year. The Sudanese army has been fighting the RSF over control of the country. The conflict has left thousands dead and more than 10 million displaced.
People in Darfur have endured some of the worst massacres reported so far, especially the residents of El Geneina, the capital of West Darfur, where the paramilitary RSF has indiscriminately attacked men, women and children of any age, according to rights groups and the UNJJLH. It has forced many survivors to flee to neighboring Chad.
Some 600,000 Sudanese people are now living in refugee camps there. DW’s Mariel Mueller traveled to Adré in Chad to capture their stories.
