This week, the city of El Fasher, the last government-held capital in Darfur, fell to the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) — a brutal militia descended from the Janjaweed death squads that terrorized Sudan two decades ago. The RSF, heavily armed and bankrolled by the United Arab Emirates, surrounded the city with an earthen wall, trapping some 250,000 civilians inside. Then came the bombers. Then came the slaughter.
Witnesses describe summary executions, rape, and mass graves. One survivor told reporters, “We saw many of our relatives massacred. They were gathered in one place and killed.” Drone footage and social media clips show civilians forced to the ground and executed point-blank. Bodies lie strewn among burned-out vehicles — a modern echo of Rwanda’s horror.
The United Nations did what it does best: issue statements. UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk expressed “grave concern” over “ethnically motivated atrocities.” The World Health Organization condemned attacks on the last operational hospital. And then, predictably, the bureaucratic machine returned to its comfortable paralysis. Meanwhile, Sudanese corpses pile up, the death toll surpassing 150,000, with hundreds of thousands of children starving to death in what is officially recognized by the United States as genocide.
The contrast to Gaza is stark. There are no leaflets warning civilians. No humanitarian corridors. No ceasefire resolutions are cycling through the Security Council every other day. No global protests demanding “Freedom for Darfur.” Just silence — and perhaps the occasional shrug from Western elites too busy moralizing about Israel.

Governor Minni Arko Minnawi, addressing his nation after El Fasher’s fall, delivered a defiant message: “This is not an end, but a beginning. From El Fasher, we begin again from zero… We are not advocates of war, but we have learned that peace is not a gift; it is built through steadfastness and dignity.” His words, equal parts grief and resolve, accused the international community of complicity through apathy: “Your silence has carved shame into the breast of history.”

Sudan’s de facto head of state, Gen. Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, confirmed the army’s withdrawal, saying it was the only way to “protect the remaining citizens.” His statement amounted to a bitter admission of defeat — and a warning that the RSF now controls all five Darfur state capitals, establishing a de facto regime of terror.
The Western media’s indifference to this bloodbath would be stunning if it weren’t so predictable. The Telegraph rightly called it “a genocide that dwarfs Gaza,” yet the “Free Palestine” crowd — the self-anointed guardians of human rights — cannot muster a single demonstration for Sudan. Their compassion has borders, and those borders are political.
The RSF’s campaign is not a war of defense but of annihilation — ethnic cleansing under a new flag. It’s the very definition of genocide. But since it doesn’t involve Israelis or fit the narrative of Western colonial guilt, the world averts its eyes. There’s no outcry from celebrities, no op-eds from Ivy League moral philosophers, no candlelit vigils in London or New York. Just muted headlines and fading interest.
In his speech, Minnawi called on Sudan’s diaspora to rise up — to “rebuild from the ashes and create life from pain.” But even he must know that, for now, Sudan stands alone. The same global conscience that weeps over Gaza has turned its back on Africa’s dying children.
And so El Fasher burns. The RSF marches on. And the world — the same world that accuses Israel of genocide — watches a real one unfold, in silence.
