US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has declared that Sudan's Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have committed genocide during the more than year-long civil war in Sudan. This marks the second genocide in Sudan in less than three decades, following the atrocities in Darfur in the early 2000s.
Blinken stated that the RSF and its allied militias have been targeting civilians, systematically murdering men, boys, and even infants on an ethnic basis. Additionally, women and girls from specific ethnic groups have been deliberately subjected to rape and other forms of brutal sexual violence.
