Masalit massacres (2023–present)
2023 genocide in Sudan / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In 2023, multiple massacres have been perpetrated by the RSF in many towns in Darfur during the Sudan war. Such massacres include the Ardamata massacre, Misterei massacre and the Geneina massacre, all of which targeted Masalit civilians.[2][3] These massacres were described by The Economist,[4] Genocide Watch,[5] US academic Eric Reeves (specialized in Sudan's human rights record),[6] and Khamis Abakar (Governor of West Darfur),[7][8] as a "genocide".
