We get an update on the humanitarian crisis in Sudan, where more than 12,000 people have been killed and over 6 million displaced since April, when the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces paramilitary group broke out into fighting. Earlier this month, human rights groups say members of the Rapid Support Forces paramilitary group carried out a massacre of around 1,300 Masalit people over three days in Sudan's West Darfur region and have subjected them to unlawful detentions, sexual violence, ill-treatment and looting. "The overall picture that survivors drew to us is horrific," says Human Rights Watch researcher Mohamed Osman, who details how the United Arab Emirates and Egypt are suspected of backing the fighting between the groups. "What we know is really just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the violations that people are facing day to day," says Sudanese activist Marine Alneel, who lays out how today's fighting continues the country's history of power struggles.

Thank you Amy and Democracy Now for covering this tragic conflict.
So sad, I am Eritrean, but I grown up in Sudan. I have my brother and his Sudanese wife still in Khartoum and communicate is almost impossible. Sudanese people are the most generous and kind people you ever meet, they don’t deserve this. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
And yet they eagerly kill one another...
Incredible courage from Marine. The international response to this conflict has been shameful. The world seems totally indifferent.
Two Hamases fighting each others
Marine is amazing. She's so brilliant and strong. She's an amazing young woman, but I fear for her safety over there. She was living in New York on a student visa, and I wish she would go back to N.Y. where she can continue her work in safety.
Shameful? What should the world do? Get involved in another convoluted power struggle in a third world country, where one dictator replaces another regularly, where slaughter is normal and intervention would neither bring resolution nor gratitude.
@@davidppfitzner Nobody uses the term " third world country" anymore. Wake up and realize this is 2023!
Once again, gulf monarchies can't let any Arab country be democratic and governed by its civilians.
My heart is with my brothers and sisters in the entirety of Sudan. Solidarity from Egypt
Awesome coverage. Hope there are more voices to stop massacres in Sudan.

Amazing how human beings are so willing to spill so much blood for their beliefs. A pity that one of their beliefs isn't in growing up.
Nothing but the belief in taking control of everything. Other countries are arming these guys because they want a slice of the pie if and when their side wins.
Such people are likely NOT humans. Humans behave HUMANELY!!
@@InspiredByEbonyLove Sadly, human beings are not to be relied on to behave humanely. You have to observe human behaviour holistically, otherwise you are in denial. Human beings are capable of the most appalling savagery. It may help you personally to try denying it, but I'm afraid that doesn't help lift humanity away from the facts of the genes of all of us being near chimps because of our shared ancestry. That half-a-chromosome's distance is very easily breached and your own words betray that very fact. A loftiness born of divisionist anger is as much a belief of superiority as their own. Each side treats the other as inhuman, otherwise they would not descend into such feral conflict with each other and they are convinced of the other's inhumanity solely by the words of Bronze Age scribes. it takes the dual evils of nationalism and religion, the culturally evolved outer clothings of simian ignorance for their descendants to commit appalling atrocities. The people committing them are just as human as you or I.
It's never about beliefs, always about power and money.
In this particular case of Sudan, the RSF & SAF are two military juntas fighting for ruling the country, civilians since 2019 were and still calling for a democratic civilian government, and they have a huge workers union that includes almost all workers from all professions pushing for that democratic civilian future.
@@NaderNabilart They are all intertwined. The tendrils of each, grasp into the other and hold. They are all mind parasitical and culturally evolved from the power plays of our ancestors. The perpetuation of these conflicts only shows up the failure to grasp that people with out-of-date beliefs are continually duped. You are dealing within effects and not into cause. The cause is far further into the past and it is a past that the religious continually deny. Their schema works with adherence primarily to gods and secondly to their own self-deification exactly as priests do, through human dominance and money which is a token they use to display that dominance.
Thank you Democracy Now.
thank you for your coverage on this topic. sadly between Ukraine and Gaza, the other mainstream outlets don't seem to care about this conflict
Exactly they have a very one sided biased view on world affairs
I dont think we can compared ukraine with gaza. Gaza also took decades for public to notice them.
I would say between Ukraine and Israel. Both those latter mentioned funnel lots and lots of money into our politician's pockets. No money coming to them from the Sudan, so therefore not worth covering it. Our politicians only care for certain "children" and they always drag out the children and babies when they want to continue wars for their profits. Apparently Sudanese babies don't count.
Sorrry being sarcastic but that's how it stands at the moment.
@yooralee9451
Israel - Palestine conflict is the most overated conflict in media.
Thank you very much for covering this conflict. It looks like most of news organizations have dismissed showing the horrific killings, rapping, and kidnapping of civilians in Sudan. Prioritizing Israel Gaza and Ukraine. So sad…
Yup..The old distinction ....Oh that's just the "Dark Continent"....It needs to be discussed and made a priority...Just like other world crisis and conflicts..
@@silence3916 Why should Europeans care ?In the Sahel, the Europeans have just been thrown out.They are only accused of re-colonialism and paternalism.
You're right that this is going underreported, but I can understand why Gaza is getting so much attention in Europe and North America as well as the Arab world. The US has a direct hand in what is happening in Gaza, both in terms of military aid and political support. The same is true of European nations, to varying degrees. People on both sides are endeavouring to use their political agency to affect the outcome. The US alone has enough leverage to force a ceasefire overnight, if the political will existed at the highest levels to do so.
It also doesn't hurt that the region is incredibly important to three major world religions.
That said, I agree that the Sudanese conflict should be getting much more coverage.
@@agggggg1916much of the instability in the continent originated WITH the Europeans. Why SHOULD they care? Well, if they behaved like they were part of the HUMAN family they would value the lives of all humans, for the sake of humanity, not just where they could PROFIT from pretending to care or value them. But we already have hundreds of years of evidence about how they view and treat non-“ White” people globally.
@@agggggg1916and they are absolutely guilty of those things.
so sad to see this still happening in Darfur . I hope a lasting Peace prevails . Shame on other countries arming these rebels to commit atrocities
Turkey, Saoedi Arabia, Quatar, UAE all Arabic countries for years. Also for the ports and minerals!
Freedom and justice for all the people of the world... the era of the eLiTeS rule must end and all of the injustice their rule creates against the innocent

What IS WRONG WITH OUR WORLD 🌎 😪😪😪😪😪🙏🙏🙏🙏
Human beings are half-a-chromosome away from chimpanzees and it shows! A species that has higher brain functions and empowered to use intelligence over emotional states and yet, when beliefs are challenged, the first resort is to the latter, not the intelligence.
That's very true, what is wrong, omg
Everything!
Clandestine operations perhaps
Pretty easy to get informed, of you look
Just Islam again, the religion of pieces. A piece of you here and a piece of you there.
True NEWS channel.
Very True!!
I’m not paid to say this but the reason why Democracy Now is highly reliable news is because they take firsthand source from verified activists instead of spokespersons like in israel or Ukraine.
This seems to be a trend around the world right now. Groups of people murdered and how they get away with it: they just call them a terrorist. 😔
If they found oil in Africa , the U.S.A. would be there sooo fast it would make your head spin .
Africa is full of minerals of all kinds
Asinine comment
@tbishop4961 I know but for some reason the American Government seems to just love the hell out of oil . I'm not very proud of the way our country is run .
Lolwut
Ame4ica and russia are eating up resources in Africa
@@laroark5036 if it were all about oil, we'd have begun conquering Africa 50 years ago. There is much more to it
Compare this story and reactions to any "democracy now" story about gaza this past month. People are going nuts about innocent deaths at the hands of zionists, but couldn't give 2 sh1ts about the tens of thousands who are brutally murdered in Africa
And if the US got involved, you'd call that imperialism or a proxy war.
If people choose to fight and kill one another that's no reason to sacrifice American lives over.
Thank u Ammy. I desperately wait for your news every evening.❤❤❤❤
Thanks for talking about Sudan
I’m from Eritrea I love Sudan. sudanese people don’t deserve this 😢 I feel so bad may Allah help those innocents
Africa is so beautiful I wish these wars would stop and peace would be established
What is wrong with they world? Enough already. 😭
This is soooo sad and it hurts , may TMH send deliverance
Gratidão pelas noticias...
Democracy Now❣👏🏻👏👏🏿
O Mundo precisa saber o que ELES fazem na Africa.
A desumanidade praticada contra os povos africanos, tem que ser denunciada.
Senao, nunca teremos Democracia verdadeira.🇧🇷
No Muslim protesting to stop war in Sudan or student in US and UK universities goes out the street to demand a cease fire there.
Peace to Sudan people are struggling
Funny how it seems the rest of the world media have forgotten about this.
What do you exactly want anyone to do? Talk is just talk.
Stop killing Sudanese people! they are one of the coolest peoples in the whole of Africa!
The real Nubians!
Glad some one is putting light to this situation
Sudan aka Ta-SETI- Land of the bow. It was great before Muslims and Christians showed up.
Exactly 💯
SUDAN should not be out of the news
HUMANISE
Free Sudan 🇸🇩
Sudan needs more attention and the world needs to shift its attention to Sudan as well as Palestine
I watch this program on Public Television too!
Dunia ismame sasa 😢😢😢 why do we have to fight for peace??😭😭😭😭😭😭
Sudan is The Next GAZA..😪😪😪😪😪🙏🙏🙏🙏💔💔💔
No it really isn’t- the conflicts are different in nature but there’s some regional links naturally…
😂😂😂😂😂
@@lovelace5286 Yes. Sudanese villagers are in the way of the jihadist supply route to Gaza tunnels that open up on remote parts of Egypt, close to Sudan.
@@georgemetesky5519 well in general Sudan has been accused of being a smuggling route for Hamas- I just meant that Sudan is not the next Gaza. As in, the conflicts shouldn't be seen as the same just because they're happening at the same time...
This is absolutely terrible! My dad's family is from Sudan and Yemen and my mom's family is from Syria and Scotland. My grandfather went from Scotland to Syria to do humanitarian work and he met my grandma. My dad's family some of them were in Sudan my grandmother was from Sudan and she went to Yemen and married my grandfather they came to the US and had my dad his two brothers and two sisters. So we have family in Syria Yemen and Sudan that all have some type of war going on. Saudi Arabia commits crimes against humanity and nobody cares. They fund the terrorists they found the killing and starvation of yemeni civilians children women men elderly disabled. Black people in Yemen are treated like they are not human. This is just so sad and so disgusting they are funding the killing of Sudanese people because they are black this Muslim sister she is on here telling us what it's like in the world is not even caring how terrible Tupac was right they got money for Wars but they can't feed the poor
Horrible 😢
Thank you all. When it's not the Middle East, it's Africa.
Are human beings prone to self-destruction? It's part of the world that has the poorest people. Sometimes, I wonder when enate goodness or self-preservation will kick in.🧚♂️😢
😢
The middle east is sending weapons for years into Sudan and creating religious chaos. Turkey, Saoedi Arabia, quatar, UAE ARE ALL INTO IT!. Sudan has allot of minerals and a port.
South Sudan need to help West Darfur
Only in the first days of the war in Sudan has been covered by international media, but afterwards as war continuing for eight months international media ceased to report about tragic War crimes by the rebellions, hopefully, this channel does continuous efforts to cover the events in Sudan.
Another commenter spoke of ending elitism. Let's just remember that elitism is enabled! This is what happens when a populace neglects it's function and greed thinks it has license.
I will keep them In prayer 😮hope and prayer for the violence to stop .God bless and be strong stand frim in the mighty name of the lord he will rescue you from all danger if you believe..❤
This is nuts! Wth is going on
Ya Allah madad
geopolitics
Minerals war
Peace
I CAN'T STAND how Juan asks people "can you talk about this" or "talk about that", and Amy COMMANDS them to talk, like they're circus animals. Why not just ask them a question?
My heart bleeds for the people in Sudan, especially those in Darfur who have been suffering for longer than I can remember. There has not been one peaceful day in this world since I was born into the Vietnam era. And I know I’ll experience peace in what’s left of my lifetime. And people asked me if I regret choosing never to have children. The answer is an unequivocal no.
Of course, United States is always on the wrong side of any conflict and is the cause of many of them.
🕊️
This beautiful sister needs to come live in the U.S. where she can be safe and continue her great activist work on behalf of the Sudanese people. She needs to be safe and protected.
Nobody's talking about this plus congo
Emirates are burning every country in Africa 😢
Exactly and Turkey is also playing there part never forget!
Sudan is unfinished business for a number of players: locals, neighboring countries and foreign powers. Maybe the last pristine part of Africa that is going to have the " Wild West experience". Having lived in Sudan for more than 12 years, I can testify that the Sudanese people are uniquely good and hospitable. I am so sad because of the current destruction and worried for the future: the population will suffer even more, because Sudan is too reach and strategically important to be left alone.
If the UN security council got involved these two would call it imperialism or a proxy war.
Why are they fighting and getting outside support?
WONT BE LONG BEFORE THE WEST GETS THE BLAME 😂😂😂
🙏
I am sending this news to 2nacheki!
WHY YOU'RE NOT NAMING NAMES AND PLACES WHERE WHAT ARMY IS STATIONED OR OPERATING FROM?!
THESE "REPORTS" ARE TOO DECONTEXTUALIZED, IMPROPERLY EXPRESSED OR ANALYZED.😮😢
Hopefully, like such channel establishes for real democracy around the world. Normally, media in the Third World countries is weak, as you know everything there is deteriorating, all hope like such channel fill the gap.
WTF leave our muslim brothers & sisters our m9thers & children alone this is crazy . 🇸🇩 Sudanese are the sweetest ppl you will meet....This nuts a lot of the African countries are rich with oils & gas & other goods the greedy countries are not letting them use or get them out but yet want to kill innocent ppl for there greed???? Shame on any Middle Eastern country that help in these killings. May Allah protect 🙏 you.
muslims killing muslims... nothing new here, lets see how long it takes before they find a way to blame the west or the jews for their own incompetence and indiscriminate violence 🤡
There some leaders in Africa who only see what is happening in Israel and Gaza. They completely failed to see the massacres happening in their own continent.
😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

Надо немедленно отделить Дарфур чтоб люди массалит фор загава смогли жить 👫 спокойно, США и Япония помогите 🆘 пожалуйста 🙏, Джанджавид опозорили весь мусульманский мир!

Arabic h.itlist You mean also!
Pure Evil
We will not improve the management of diversity in Sudan. The Sudanese political elites have failed to find effective solutions. Political conflicts between armed movements, political parties and civil forces are all criminals and the supporters of this war are all implementing the agenda of foreign countries in Sudan. To destroy Sudan, this rebel militia is now supported by political parties, and there are countries that provide it with financial and technical support and open its airports in order to supply it with weapons in order to fight the national army. The national army also depends on groups from the former regime. This is the reality of the conflict in Sudan.
Mohammed Osman you are clearly representing sudanese army.while it's clear that the drones are used by Sudanese army but not Rapid support forces
.the attacks from the war planes have killed more civilians than attacks from rapid forces.
Well done, for not just covering the click like for profit war news.
It’s sad that this was destined to happen, because Europeans wanted straight lines on the map.
Not totally true, it started with the Arabic slave trade 1400 years it was, and after this evilness the Trans Atlantic slave trade 400 years...
Totally right so much suffering from this sadly.
West Darfur need to Govement themselves south Sudan need to help them
Now would be a good time for the Sudanese Civilian government to take power because both military factions (SAF and RSF) are clearly jeopardizing everyone's lives. Since both groups have illegitimate claims to succession anyway, and they both impeded on the peaceful transition, the Sudanese Civilian government should be given green-light support from at least the UN because this conflict has the proportion to destabilize plenty of other countries around Sudan.
How can we spin this to blame America?
Specifically Trump lol. 😅
Just Islam again, the religion of pieces. A piece of you here and a piece of you there.
No spin needed.
This very much American interventions!
Shii crazy
The UAE was just able to secure 20 % percent of land from Zimbabwe 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️ they claim for Blue Coal!?! But it’s now UAE land so they have control 😢I feel like no matter the forward progress it inevitably goes backwards 💁🏽♀️😢
Senin sesini seviyorum. ..
Where’s the outrage from all the Palestinian crusaders
They're literally reporting on it right now. You're watching.
What, you think people who object to Israel's genocidal apartheid are big fans of the UAE? Where were you when we were criticizing the US's dangerous support for the rightwing military coup 2 years ago?
Go Home Zionist!
Amazingly, the proxies in this conflict are the UAE, Egypt, Kenya, Ethiopia, and Russia but these characters mention the US in 1969. The reason why the US stays relatively clear of many of these nations is because they will be associated with any petty dictator, military coup, or authoritarian who shows his face. You associate communism with democracy. Name one place this concept has worked. Until Africans decide to handle their problems without killing and choose to disregard proxes. Until they put their trust in their people and respect their individual rights, until they remove the economic shackles of socialism -communism- fascist governments. Until their leaders respect the rule of law. NOTHING WILL CHANGE. Americans know this. They will not invest in chaos. Would you? When will African leaders tire of receiving aid and compete for investment? I don't know. Let us know when you are ready.
God... this world... Barely any respect for life and absolutely no respect or care for black lives ANYWHERE. We definitely need a complete reset.
I dont know how you guys are ethis clueless. Egypt's vocal support for the sudanese goverrnment and support for the sudanese people is part of their obligations as an UN member, but given the local politics of egypt they cant say or do much against arab interests, including the islamic jihad/ethnic cleansing of africans in sudan.
Now this is the fact. Sudan have been ruled by jihadist allies to other world Well known terror groups. The so called army are racist organisations not fit enough to be national army.
Commenting to help the algorithm
How can you kill your own people they are Muslim even if not they are fellow citizens
The janjaweed today is like the Rouge computer. Hardly does it satisfy it's inventor.
Thanks.
Why is there so much chaos in the world 🤦🌍
Because there are bad actors everywhere.
Unfortunately it is usually only sociopaths and Phycopaths that crave power over people and they abuse anybody that gets in the way of gaining the power.
Weird DN doesn't scream 'genocide' in every heading, I guess they reserve that for Israel.
"if the shoe fits...".
Marine ALNEEL, elle est jolie
Ironic that the Palestinians are fighting for self determination and Sudan who has it, their leaders have sold out to external interests at the extent of their nationals. Palestinians fight...everyone. Why are Afrikans so docile? Why don't fight for their rights. As a black persons I'm afraid that this will play into the trope that black people can't rule themselves. I don't believe it, but it will play into that.
Dumb take. Sudanese people HAVE fought! They overthrew a 30 year dictator… I can tell you know nothing about the situation.
Religion has created this evilness.
@@Melanated4ever No it has this Western power intervention this is nothing new . Always with and against the people arming and supporting Terroist groups!

And no one really cares.
green screen reporter
This biased story, the military government who is run by hard line islamists is always trying to split Darfour’s tribes to control the region
Ms Marine out of respect to you, and your quality of reporting, and out of respect to your audience dress more professionally and modestly please.
Why is it that the countries with border crises and genocide are former British colonies.
The criminals and tyrants will face Allah and should know that their good deeds go to the victims and when they run out of good deeds the sins of the victims go to the criminals.
All those buildings burning down and all that black smoke! I have to wonder how much war contributes to climate change!
Stop lying 🤥
Regular stuff with the religion of peace, they turn you into pieces 🙈😂

Very sad news📰😢😢😢🇮🇳✍️
This is not a local power struggle.
It’s bigger than that.
