Sudan’s brutal two-year war has entered a new phase. The paramilitary Rapid Support Forces has seized control of the entire Darfur region, ousting the Sudanese army from its last stronghold. The conflict has killed over 40,000 people and displaced more than 14 million, creating a humanitarian crisis. The capture of el-Fasher, North Darfur’s capital, raises fears of Sudan splitting again, nearly 15 years after South Sudan’s independence. The RSF, led by Gen. Mohammed Hamdan Dagalo, has roots in the Darfur genocide and has been accused of atrocities. Dagalo’s forces have expanded their power and influence, leading to a power struggle with Sudan’s army chief that plunged Sudan into war.

On today’s show, guest host Thandisizwe Chimurenga talks with Alaa Suliman from the Sudanese Association of Northern California on the ongoing crisis in Sudan.
