Από τα μέσα Οκτωβρίου , η σύγκρουση μεταξύ των κυβερνητικών στρατευμάτων και των δυνάμεων ταχείας αντίδρασης, η οποία σιγοκαίει για περίπου 7 μήνες, εντάθηκε με νέο σθένος.

Οι αντάρτες κατάφεραν να καταλάβουν σχεδόν ολόκληρη την επικράτεια της πρωτεύουσας και την περιοχή του Νταρφούρ . Τώρα διεξάγουν επιθετικές επιχειρήσεις στο Kordofan , στα νότια και βόρεια της πολιτείας Χαρτούμ .

Όλες οι προηγούμενες προσπάθειες των μερών να καταλήξουν σε συμφωνία απέτυχαν . Ακόμη και εκπρόσωποι της Σαουδικής Αραβίας και των Ηνωμένων Πολιτειών, οι οποίοι εδώ και καιρό ενεργούσαν ως κύριοι μεσολαβητές, δήλωσαν ότι οι διαπραγματεύσεις είχαν φτάσει σε αδιέξοδο .

Εν τω μεταξύ, διάφορες μικρότερες ένοπλες ομάδες στις περιοχές του Σουδάν άρχισαν σταδιακά να εντάσσονται στη σύγκρουση .

EXCERPT
The Old Guard Are Killing the World’s Youngest Country
South Sudan was born amid great hope but has since descended into war. It will take a new generation of leaders to make it a successful state.

WAAT, South Sudan—“Jeck,” a voice calls from inside the mud-and-thatch hut. I recognize the pronunciation of my name—it’s close enough—and the voice. “My friend, Jeck,” the man says again. Ducking and then emerging through the door of the hut is a handsome face atop a large angular frame. At 6 feet, 8 inches tall—with broad shoulders and long arms—Koang (pronounced Kong) has a smile so wide it could span the Nile. We slap shoulders and then hands, in the

As the EU sets new policies and makes deals with African nations to deter hundreds of thousands of migrants from seeking new lives on the continent, what does it mean for sub-Saharan Africans following dreams northwards and the countries they transit through? From returnees in Sierra Leone and refugees resettled in France to smugglers in Niger and migrants in detention centres in Libya, IRIN explores their choices and challenges in this multi-part special report, Destination Europe.

The “Darfur Genocide

The “Darfur Genocide” refers to the current mass slaughter and rape of Darfuri men, women, and children in Western Sudan. The killings began in 2003, as the first genocide in the 21st century. Unrest and violence persist today.

The genocide is being carried out by a group of government-armed and funded Arab militias known as the Janjaweed (which loosely translates to ‘devils on horseback’). The Janjaweed systematically destroy Darfurians by burning villages, looting economic resources, polluting water sources, and murdering, raping, and torturing civilians. These militias are historic rivals of the main rebel groups, the Sudanese Liberation Movement (SLM), and the Justice and Equality Movement (JEM). As of today, over 480,000 people have been killed, and over 2.8 million people are displaced.
