[AFRICANEWS] Fears of a repeat of a genocide in Darfur, a region in western Sudan
 ...a Moslem country located in the Horn of Africa. It is noted for its affinity for rule by ex- or current generals, its holy men, and for the oppression of the native Afro population by its Arab conquerors. South Sudan, populated mostly by the natives, split off from Sudan proper, which left North and South Darfur to be oppressed by the guys with turbans...
, are mounting.
The European Union
...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing...
condemned Sunday "ethnic cleansing" of Darfur's Masalit people by the RSF paramilitary.
The bloc cited reports that over 1,000 people had been killed.
The Masalit people are a non-Arab group who reside mainly in Chad and Darfur a region about the size of Spain.
Citing local monitors, Al Jazeera reported that about 1,300 Masalit Sudanese were killed by RSF fighters in early November.
The UN Human Rights Office said in July it obtained credible information stating that bodies of Masalit Sudanese and others, allegedly killed in June by RSF and their allied militia were buried in a mass grave outside West Darfur's capital.
Fighting rages in Sudan despite the warring parties signing a statement after talks in Soddy Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...
The resident U.N. humanitarian coordinator for Sudan, said on Friday that the belligerents committed to establishing a Humanitarian Forum, with U.N. participation.
She added that 25 million Sudanese, half of the population, require assistance and protection.
A conflict in 2003 began in Sudan when rebels from Darfur’s ethnic central and sub-Saharan African community launched an insurgency, complaining of oppression by the Arab-dominated government in the capital, Khartoum.
The government responded with a scorched-earth campaign of aerial bombings and unleashed militias known as the Janjaweed, who are accused of mass killings and rapes. Some 300,000 people died in the Darfur conflict, 2.7 million were driven from their homes.
These same militias who were known as Janjaweed are now fighting alongside or under the banner of the RSF.
