UN WARNS OF ANOTHER WAR CRISIS IN SUDAN

On July 3 UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk warned that the world’s largest humanitarian crisis may take a turn for the worse. New battle lines are forming around the city of El Obeid in northwest Sudan for a possible replay of the October genocide and ethnic cleansing at El Fasher, Sudan.

Speaking at the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva Türk said, “Another human rights catastrophe is unfolding in Sudan. It is a red alert that needs to land on the desks of Heads of State and government around the world.”

Forces from the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) are converging on El Obeid, a city of about half a million people and the capital of the state of North Kordofan. Local residents already report dozens of drones have been used to attack the city’s infrastructure, schools, and even gas stations. These drone strikes have already killed at least 20 residents and wounded over 40.

While neither side in the fighting is innocent, the rebel RSF is notorious for its systematic attacks against civilians and the deliberate targeting of children. The RSF is being supported by the United Arab Emirates (UAE), but the true controllers are in London.

The British geopolitical gameplan is to allow the atrocities to continue in order to reduce Sudan to a colonial appendage. Since the earliest days of colonialism British strategy was to pit the “elite” Arab population along the Nile River against other ethnic communities in the vast country. These divisions are still being played.

A July 1 report from Amnesty International documents in detail the murder, rape, enslavement, and other crimes against humanity suffered by the local population. The exact figures are not known, but at least 270,000 people have been killed by violence, starvation, and disease.

At least 13 million people have been displaced, of which 4 million have fled the country. An estimated 33.7 million people depend upon humanitarian aid, and 5 million are living in emergency or famine conditions. There are 13 million children with no classrooms since 55% of schools are closed or destroyed.
