Genocide in Darfur – How the Horror Began. By Eric Reeves.
September 3, 2005.
Perhaps the most destructive civil conflict since World War II and one of the longest wars in Africa’s history, it saw the Christian and animist South pitted against the Muslim, Arab-speaking North. As many as 2.5 million people have died since the second phase of the civil war began in 1983-and likely more than four million if we consider its earlier phase (1955-72).
South Sudan Civil War (2013-2018):
This conflict, which began after South Sudan's secession, is estimated to have resulted in approximately 400,000 excess deaths, according to the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine.
Disaster by the Numbers: The Crisis in Sudan.
The United States just formally declared that genocide has taken place in the northeast African nation, but the calamity there dates back decades.By Eve Sampson. Jan. 7, 2025
A civil war in Sudan that has killed 150,000 people and forced more than 11 million others from their homes, by some estimates, prompted the U.S. government on Tuesday to declare that a genocide had been perpetrated by one of the war’s main antagonists, the ethnic Arab militia known as the Rapid Support Forces.
The war, which has drawn in foreign countries and a host of armed groups, now threatens to spill over Sudan’s borders. After 21 months of fighting, thousands have been killed in a campaign of ethnic cleansing, countless women and girls have been subjected to sexual violence, and millions are hungry, in the world’s first officially declared famine since 2020.
So many people have been uprooted....

Who at the UN cares about Christian victims in Africa or anywhere?
Truth is, no one cares even about the fakestiniabs (where its regime and UNRWA prevent GHF food), Mrs Goebbels fascista Francesca Albanese is only focused incite against Israel.
EVIL collective that Islam. 2025 the slaughtering continues.
And nitzy is silent because he couldn’t find a Jew to blame when a muslim murdered a Christian in Sudan.
No, nitsy can't be bothered with evil Christians.
Christians with their antiquated moral values deserve what they get.
/S
Exactly
Of course this is horrifying. If I thought that the US was helping to CAUSE this problem, I would be screaming from the rooftops.
If there were FReepers who thought putting the headchoppers in a position where they could kill the Christians was a good idea, I would be calling them ghouls.
I am seeing universal condemnation for this (as I would hope).
This is unlike the killing of Christians by the IDF or by the headchoppers who Israel installed in Syria. Many on here think, “Oh well. That’s just the price of securing the region for Israel’s future.”
If I knew the Christians were going to be killed even before Assad was overthrown, I’m certain Israel knew. I’m just an Appalachian hillbilly.
Israel and their supporters thought it was worth it.
That is who I respond to on here.
Please let me know if you see any FReepers saying anything that is supportive of doing something to give the African headchoppers more power, please ping me to the post and I will address it with them.

Elijah Malok Aleng contributed a paper entitled 'Destitution and Displacement in The Sudan.' In it, he described the tragedy of civil war and its political underpinnings. During the first civil war of 1955–1972, between 750,000 and 1.5 million Sudanese nationals, of whom a high proportion were civilians, lost their lives.
In 1983 the civil war resumed, and with it, massive violations of civilians' human rights.
Aleng joined a number of human rights groups in asserting that since 1983 these violations have included extrajudicial executions, torture, starvation, the rape and / or enslavement of women and children, the pillaging and destruction of agricultural crops, the use of the civilian population as a human shield during military operations; and the persecution of Christians. Shari'a or Islamic law was harshly applied to chop off the hands of 90 citizens charged with petty theft who were mostly from the neglected and marginalized regions of South and Western Sudan.

First ever condemnation of muslims murdering Christians by you, and you still bring up the Jews.
It seemed you were questioning why I often comment on some articles mentioning the death of Christians and I don’t often comment on others. (I have before in direct replies to you. So the claim that this is the “first” is another lie of yours)
I just explained the difference. Mentioning UN-Israel-1948 was required as it was part of the explanation.

Iran-backed Houthis use hunger as a weapon, blocking aid and deepening suffering for 20 million, while the world’s attention remains focused elsewhere.
