Sudan’s government to protect Darfur but instead more clashes happened

The United Nations withdrawal from Darfur should have been a moment for Sudan to turn the page on a bloody and bitter period of its history.

Instead, deadly violence broke out once again, severely undermining the Sudanese transitional government’s promise that it could protect its citizens in the war-torn southern province.

Some 300,000 people were killed in the conflict, with Bashir, who was ousted in a 2019 pro-democracy uprising, wanted by the International Criminal Court over war crimes and genocide charges.

The expert warned that former rebels in the peacekeeping ranks and current rebels like the SLM/AW are likely to clash, and for those clashes to spread. Meanwhile, Arab pastoralist nomads continue to be a source of friction for the displaced.
