KENYA’S ‘RED CARPET’ FOR GEN*CIDAL RSF
‘Rolling out the red carpet while Sudan burns’ - that’s how political commentator @djbwakali describes Kenya’s hosting the Rapid Support Forces, which unveiled plans in Nairobi to set up a breakaway government in the Sudanese territories it controls. He reminds us of the litany of war crimes the UAE-backed paramilitary group is guilty of, both during the current war and before - targeting non-Arab communities. Khartoum has angrily denounced Kenya’s decision to platform its enemy - suggesting that Nairobi too is acting with hostility, and insinuating that hosting the RSF makes it complicit in its crimes.
@djbwakali suggest that the reason Kenyan president William Ruto’s administration is cozying up to these ‘warlords’ is gold - something there’s a lot of in Sudan, many of whose mines are currently in the RSF’s hands. The Kenyan elite, he suggests, has developed an appetite for this gold - and he urges other Africans nations to respond to Kenya’s growing role in Sudan’s proxy war. This has seen some 8.9 million internally displaced, while 3.4 million have sought refuge in neighbouring countries.

قوات الدعم السريع اعتدت على مخيم زمزم في #دارفور، الذي يحتمي فيه آلاف النازحين.
نتيجة ذلك، قُتل حتى الآن 40 مدنيا على الأقل. ونحن ندين هذه الاعتداءات.

"When the human rights of the people in your country depend on you, you have to know what these rights are."
Everyone should know the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, says @UN Special Rapporteur on the Russian Federation @KatzarovaM.

I'm sorry to hear that the Janjaweed-RSF militia has been involved in artillery shelling on the Zamzam camp for displaced people, south of Al-Fashir. This camp is home to many innocent civilians who have been forced to flee their homes due to conflict.
Everyone deserves to live a safe and dignified life.

في #السودان، لا يقتصر دعم برنامج الأغذية العالمي على المساعدات الغذائية الطارئة لمكافحة الجوع
بل نعمل على تمكين الأسر والمجتمعات لإعالة أنفسهم

المندوب #الروسي في مجلس الأمن يسجل هدفاً رائعا في مرمى خصمه #البريطاني في الدبقية صفر، ناسفا كل ادعاءاته الزائفة قائلا:
"شكرا لزميلي البريطاني على خطابه الاستعماري، فقد اثبت لنا ان بلاده ما فتئت تمارس وصاية ما بعد الاستعمار ليس على السودان وحده بل وكل الدول الأفريقية. هذا المنهج ما بعد الاستعماري #post_colony هو ما جعل الدور الإفريقية تنفض عن بلاده، وتنفتح على الدول غير الاستعمارية".
اجشع ما ذكره المندوب هو ان بريطانيا وأمريكا تحاولان فرض وقفا لإطلاق النار في السودان، متجاهلة وجهة نظر الحكومة السودانية، بينما لا تحركها الدماء التي تسيل في #غزة، ولا ترى انها تستحق ضغطا على الجانب #الإسرائيلي لوقف القتل والتنكيل بالأبرياء.
كلمة قوية، كشفت الزيف والنفاق البريطاني.
