quando il dittatore del #Chad, amico di #Macron, va a difendere la democrazia in #Niger, mi viene in mente nemmeno 4 mesi fa, che proprio dal Chad sono entrati in #Sudan 37000 #Janjaweed (a bordo di 4600 Land Cruisers), a supportare l'antagonista #Hemedti. Non ho trovato un'analisi su una "nostra" possibile "simpatia" per questa gente.
Però è un fatto che in #Libia i Janjaweed combattessero con #Haftar, supportato da #Russia e #Francia. a me sembra una lite tra ex amici

Local #NGOs are warning staff to brace for a rise in violence now that the Muslim holy month of #Ramadan is over. #Haftar has passed on crucial intelligence to #Hemedti, detained his enemies, increased deliveries of fuel and possibly trained a detachment of hundreds of fighters from the #RSF

The leaders of #Sudan’s army, Gen #Burhan, and of the paramilitary RSF, Gen Dagallo AKA #Hemedti - whose forces have been fighting recklessly in residential areas without caring about harming civilians - really need to listen to this boy. #SudanConflict -

#Sudan conflict: #Hemedti – the warlord who built a #paramilitary force more powerful than the state

After Sudan's people staged larged protests against the autocrat Omar al Bashir in 2019, the military saw their moment to do a coup and seize power in 2021.

Now, two generals: Burhan, leader of the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF), and Hemedti, the head of the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) are fighting for power, with at least 200 dead civilians.

If you recall, Hemedti and his RSF are the former Janjaweed militia, involved in the first genocide of the 21st century in Darfur.

Sudan's population struggled very hard to bring the society forward after decades of autocracy. Networks of neighbourhood-groups that were formed in relation to the Arab Spring, were key for the protests.
As always, there is a lot of geopolitics and interests involved: Gold mines, Wagner mercenaries, Egypt (a dictatorship heavily supported by the US and recognized by Europe) is supporting Sudan's military, Saudi recruited Sudanese mercenaries in their war in Yemen, Israel sold drones and Western governments that still trust military governments as partners for stability 🤮

Please forgive my lack of knowledge about central & eastern African politics, but I guess splitting Sudan in half a while back didn't help? https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2023/apr/15/sudan-fighting-khartoum-latest-news-updates
