Masalit massacres (2023–present)
2023 civilian killings in Sudan / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In 2023, the Rapid Support Forces, in the course of the Sudanese civil war, carried out killing sprees in many towns in Darfur. Examples include the Ardamata massacre, Misterei massacre and the Battle of Geneina, all of which targeted Masalit civilians within the area of Geneina.[2][3] These incidents have been described by The Economist,[4] Genocide Watch,[5] US academic Eric Reeves,[6] and Khamis Abakar (Governor of West Darfur),[7][8] as a "genocide".
