The United Nations has reported serious human rights violations by both the army and the Rapid Support Forces paramilitary group in Sudan’s ongoing war, which has created one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises. Tens of thousands have been killed, and millions have been displaced.
Reports of torture and rape have been on the rise over the past 17 months, leaving many feeling desperate and helpless. The United Nations is looking to deploy peacekeeping troops to intervene, but the Sudanese government has rejected this proposal.
An investigation has found that both sides in the conflict have committed abuses that could be considered war crimes, raising questions about accountability. As the international community debates how to address the situation, the people of Sudan are left to wonder what the future holds for them.
Sudanese activist Alaaeldin Nugud, international attorney Abdelkhalig Shaib, and political commentator and journalist Dallia Abdelmoniem discuss the implications of the UN report and the government’s rejection of outside intervention on the people of Sudan. As the crisis continues to unfold, the international community must consider how to ensure justice and protection for those caught in the crossfire.
