Darfur Diaspora Association in the UK: International Silence Fuels the Darfur Genocide

London –Sudanhorizon

The Darfur Diaspora Association in the United Kingdom has called on the international community, the United Nations, the Security Council, the African Union, and all human rights organizations to take urgent and effective measures to protect civilians and stop the militia’s crimes against them.

In a statement issued on Monday, the association demanded the opening of independent international investigations to hold those responsible for these crimes and their supporters accountable.

The association considered the international silence regarding these crimes to be indirect complicity, giving the perpetrators a green light to continue killing innocent people.

The statement said that after implementing their plots in El Fasher, the militia moved westward to complete their genocidal scheme, where the areas of Kalbus, Karnoi, Amro, and Abu Qumra witnessed systematic killings targeting dozens of innocent, unarmed civilians based on their ethnicity.

Yesterday, the area of Jirjira witnessed another crime in which 30 civilians, including children and women, were killed, in a clear continuation of the policy of mass killing and ethnic cleansing. The Darfur Diaspora Associations in the United Kingdom stated that it is closely monitoring these dangerous developments and is working to inform international and regional human rights organizations and international lawyers of all developments related to war crimes and crimes against humanity committed in Sudan, in order to hold the perpetrators accountable and ensure they do not escape punishment.

The Association pointed out that the militia had previously committed crimes in El Fasher that amount to genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity, resulting in the deaths of more than 75,000 civilians, while approximately 150,000 people remain missing. This occurred after the militia seized control of the city and subjected it to complete atrocities based on narrow ethnic affiliations.
