Escalating #violence across the #Darfur region in #Sudan has sparked fears that #atrocities committed two decades ago could be repeated, the #UN#refugee agency, #UNHCR , said on Friday, voicing grave concern over the development.
More than 4.8 million people have been #displaced inside Sudan since fighting broke out in April between the army & a #paramilitary group known as the #RapidSupportForces (RSF). 1.2 million have sought #refuge in neighbouring countries.
TEHRAN, Jun. 27 (MNA) – Sudan's paramilitary forces, which have been fighting the country's army for months, have announced a unilateral truce during the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha.
[1] I'm not even sure what to call it. It's not actually the military doing it, it's a commercial/#mercenary#paramilitary. Officially their aim is to #topple the leadership of the #military, not the #civilian#government of the country, but I'm sure #Putin doesn't see it that way.
I'm throwing ideas at the wall to see what #sticks, but still don't see a clear path to success for #Prigozhin . Even if he's truthful about this only being about the military leadership, and not a full-blown coup.
The #Wagner Group is a hell of a #paramilitary, but compared to the army, they are undermanned, under-resourced, and under-armed. I do not believe Wagner would have a chance in a head-on clash with the #army.
So far I've come up with one ending that isn't a #wipeout for Wagner.
