"In den vergangenen Wochen sind hunderttausende Sudanesen auf der Suche nach Sicherheit und einer Unterkunft vertrieben worden, für einige von ihnen ist es bereits die zweite oder dritte Vertreibung. Wir haben es jetzt mit mehr als sechs Millionen Binnenflüchtlingen zu tun. Dies ist ein Rekord in der Geschichte des Sudan, der schon unter vielen Konflikten gelitten hat. "

https://www.tagesschau.de/ausland/afrika/sudan-380.html

"Ein eskalierender Konflikt, Flucht, Vertreibungen und Gewalt gegen die Zivilbevölkerung haben dem Sudan für 2024 einen traurigen Spitzenplatz beschert: Das International Rescue Committee (IRC), das jeweils zum Jahresende eine Liste humanitärer Krisen erstellt, auf die im Folgejahr geachtet werden sollte, führt das Land im Nordosten Afrikas auf Platz eins.

«Acht Monate seit Beginn des Konflikts wird es schwerer und schwerer, im Sudan einen sicheren Ort zu finden», warnt Arif Noor, Landesdirektor der Hilfsorganisation Save the Children. Allein in Wad Madani lebten rund 350.000 Kinder in der Angst, von Bewaffneten entführt zu werden oder sexueller Gewalt ausgesetzt zu sein. Tausende Schulen im Land sind seit Monaten geschlossen, weil dort Geflüchtete untergekommen sind. «Im Sudan herrschen Chaos und massenhafter Tod», sagt Noor. «Sie sehen Dinge, die kein Kind sehen sollte.»

Neue Gräueltaten in Darfur

Das gilt besonders für die Lage in Darfur. Hilfsorganisationen berichten von willkürlichen Erschießungen von Zivilisten, Plünderungen, von denen auch Krankenhäuser betroffen sind, und von systematischer sexueller Gewalt besonders gegen Frauen und Mädchen. Das Afrikanische Zentrum für Friedensstudien (ACJPS) spricht von einem «Krieg gegen Frauen», vor allem seitens der RSF und verbündeter Milizen. Mohammed Osman von der Menschenrechtsorganisation Human Rights Watch spricht in einem Bericht zur Lage in Darfur zudem von Gräueltaten und Massenmorden gegen die ethnische Gruppe der Massalit. "
