What is happening in West Darfur is not so much part of this wider war as enabled by it. Unlike the violence of two decades ago, in which an estimated 300,000 died, this cycle is taking place under a less clear chain of command. Underlying tensions between sedentary non-Arab populations and Arab tribes and militias seeking their land were never resolved. They were sharpened by climate change, and have now reignited.
from Darfur in 2021, at a time of such uncertainty for Sudan, was a grave mistake, despite the mission’s limitations., including from Darfur, is critical, and so is pushing for humanitarian access to the 3.5 million displaced internally. Mr Khan has rightly announced that he is investigating crimes in the region and it is essential to expose and document them. But accountability, if it ever comes, will be painfully slow.
