The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is accused of supporting the RSF with money and guns - which it denies - while Saudi Arabia is said to have close ties with the Sudanese government.

Sudan's foreign ministry said the government rejected the recommendations of the fact-finding mission in their "entirety".

It described the UN Human Rights Council as "a political and illegal body", and said the mission's recommendations were "a flagrant violation of their mandate".

Since we occasionally get "what about Sudan?" comments on DU, I expect there are several DUers eager for updates such as these.

1. Maybe it isn't a "what about"

Perhaps some people are truly sickened by the numbers coming out of a conflict the world ignores

Casualties and losses
20,000[20]–150,000 killed[21]
7,720,119 internally displaced[22]
2,170,592 refugees[23]

Kicking for visibility.
