The making of Sudan’s RSF

Article excerpt

Sudan's Rapid Support Forces (RSF) trace their roots to the Janjaweed militia, a group with decades of documented human rights abuses. The video examines how this paramilitary force evolved from its earlier incarnation, marked by violence and atrocities, into its current form as a major player in Sudan's conflict. The RSF's trajectory reflects a pattern of escalating brutality and institutional continuity despite international condemnation. Understanding the group's origins is critical to grasping the current humanitarian catastrophe unfolding across Sudan.
