...71st United States secretary of state and a leading light of the corrupt and inept Biden administration. He previously served as deputy national security advisor from 2013 to 2015 and deputy secretary of state from 2015 to 2017 under the corrupt and inept Obama administration. He advocated for the 2003 invasion of Iraq while serving as the Democratic staff director of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee from 2002 to 2008. He was a foreign policy advisor for the Biden 2008 presidential campaign. During his tenure in the Obama administration, Blinken helped craft B.O.'s policy on Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the nuclear program of Iran. We all saw how well each of those worked.

ese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have committed war crimes. He further emphasized that the paramilitary forces have also committed crimes against humanity and ethnic cleansing in Sudan.
Secretary Blinken’s determination follows a comprehensive investigation by the State Department into the conflict that erupted in Sudan on April 15, 2023. The investigation uncovered that civilians have been subjected to abuse and, in some cases, killed at SAF and RSF detention centres.
Moreover, the RSF and allied militias have terrorized women and girls throughout Sudan through sexual violence, attacking them in their homes, abducting them from the streets, or targeting those seeking refuge across the border.
He also outlined the horrific atrocities committed against the Masalit tribe in West Darfur state, stating that their situation mirrors the genocide that began almost 20 years ago in Darfur. "Masalit civilians have been hunted down and left for dead in the streets, their homes set on fire, and told that there is no place in Sudan for them," he declared.
"Based on the State Department’s meticulous analysis of the law and available evidence, I have determined that members of the SAF and the RSF have committed war crimes in Sudan. I have also determined that members of the RSF and allied militias have committed crimes against humanity and ethnic cleansing," he emphasized.
Secretary Blinken’s determination signifies a significant step towards holding the perpetrators accountable for their actions. It paves the way for additional measures from the American administration against the two parties.

Secretary Blinken urged the Sudanese government and the international community to prioritize protecting civilians and guaranteeing access to humanitarian aid
for those affected by the conflict.Seven months after the outbreak of the war in Sudan, regional and international efforts have failed to halt the festivities and violence against civilians. Furthermore, humanitarian access remains hampered by both sides despite the signed commitments in this regard.
The Biden administration has been criticized for not taking prompt measures to press the belligerents to cease fighting. Additionally, commentators have failed to explain why Washington remained silent while its regional allies continued to fuel the conflict and provide weapons to the warring parties.
