The article discusses the RSF's brutal assault on the Zamzam displacement camp in Sudan, which left at least 500 civilians dead and caused mass displacement. The RSF has been accused of using propaganda to label Zamzam as a military zone, akin to Israel's justification for attacks on civilian infrastructure in Gaza. Critics argue that such tactics strip civilians of their protective status under international humanitarian law. This parallels Israel's recent claims that hospitals and schools in Gaza serve military purposes, suggesting a troubling pattern of justifying violence under the guise of legal terminology.
By labelling Zamzam a military zone, the RSF was trying to apply the same model Israel uses to justify bombing hospitals and schools in the Gaza Strip.
This is a deliberate practice aimed at stripping civilians of their legal protection by labelling them as combatants or instruments of war.
