Experts argue sensor and satellite data reveal targeted attacks on farming communities by the Rapid Support Forces were intended to prevent villages producing food
This is Ammar Jadid, a village in Darfur, Sudan.
The fields surrounding it once fed an entire region – then militiamen came and burned everything down.
Between March and June 2024, they attacked seven times.
New evidence suggests these attacks were calculated to destroy the region’s food system, leading experts to call for them to be treated as a war crime intended to starve civilians, and warn it could happen again.
