RSF

The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) are a paramilitary group that emerged from the Janjaweed militia and are a key belligerent in the ongoing civil war in Sudan. They are currently newsworthy due to their offensive actions in Darfur, which have forced thousands of civilians to flee their homes. Recent reports indicate that RSF offensives in Darfur have led to a humanitarian crisis, with refugees, particularly mothers and children, seeking safety in neighboring Chad and facing dire conditions like starvation. The RSF's actions are a significant factor in the displacement and suffering of Sudanese populations, highlighting their current relevance as a major driver of the conflict and its devastating consequences for civilians.
