War in Sudan: Both Sides Accused of Crimes Against Humanity as Foreign Weapons Flood the Country

In Sudan, a recent United Nations fact-finding mission documented harrowing" human rights violations committed by both the Sudanese army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, including indiscriminate attacks on civilians, schools, hospitals, water and power supplies. Civilians have also been subjected to torture, arbitrary detention and gruesome sexual violence. Over 20,000 people have been killed and 13 million displaced over the past 16 months. The war has also destroyed the country's healthcare system and caused an outbreak of diseases like cholera, malaria and dengue. Sky News correspondent Yousra Elbagir, whose reporting helped uncover details of a June 2023 massacre of civilians by the RSF in North Darfur, says the world is showing complete apathy and neglect" over the violence in Sudan today. We also speak with Jean-Baptiste Gallopin, a senior researcher at Human Rights Watch, who says advanced weapons made in countries including Russia, China and Iran are ending up in Sudan and are very likely to be used to commit human rights violations and war crimes."
