The Spin

The fall of El Fasher has unleashed a horrific genocide, with thousands massacred in mass executions visible from space through satellite imagery showing blood pools and body clusters. The RSF, descended from the notorious Janjaweed militia, is conducting systematic ethnic cleansing with UAE backing while the international community watches helplessly. This medieval siege and subsequent slaughter represent an unfolding atrocity that demands immediate global intervention.

The RSF takeover of El Fasher represents a crucial step toward Sudanese unity, not division. Commander Hemedti has immediately established accountability measures with independent legal committees investigating any violations and promising swift justice for wrongdoers. His administration is actively facilitating civilian movement, releasing detainees, clearing dangerous ordnance and transferring security to civilian police while rejecting separatist narratives from Islamist remnants.

While Sudan bleeds, the so-called "international community" hides behind empty words. Western powers condemn the atrocities but remain silent on the arming of the RSF by the UAE, for fear of upsetting their wealthy ally. The same governments that preach human rights finance wars through arms deals and greed. The ruins of El Fasher reveal yet again the West's hypocrisy, which constantly talks about human rights while primarily being concerned with profit and power.

Metaculus Prediction

There is an 80% chance that the SAF will maintain control of both Khartoum city center and el-Obeid in North Kordofan through Dec. 31, 2025, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
