United Nations experts have uncovered serious human rights violations committed by both sides in the ongoing war in Sudan, creating one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises. Tens of thousands have been killed and millions displaced as a result of the fighting between the army and the Rapid Support Forces paramilitary group. Reports of torture and rape have seen a drastic increase over the past 17 months, leaving many feeling desperate and helpless.
Despite calls from the UN to deploy peacekeeping troops, the Sudanese government has rejected outside intervention. This decision comes after an investigation revealed that both sides have engaged in actions that may amount to war crimes. The question now arises of who will hold the perpetrators accountable for these atrocities.
In a discussion hosted by Hashem Ahelbarra, Sudanese activist Alaaeldin Nugud, international attorney Abdelkhalig Shaib, and political commentator/journalist Dallia Abdelmoniem weigh in on the implications of the UN’s findings and the government’s rejection of peacekeeping troops. The guests discuss the need for justice in Sudan and express concerns about the lack of accountability for those responsible for the human rights violations.
As the international community grapples with how to address the crisis in Sudan, the voices of those impacted by the war are key in shedding light on the urgent need for action to ensure justice and protection for the people of Sudan.
