But whether 20,000, up to 150,000 or even 200,000 people have been killed since the start of the conflict in April 2023, it's clear that atrocities, including mass rape, have been committed on a huge scale in particular by the rebel paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), which have been accused of genocide, ethnic cleansing and crimes against humanity by international actors including the United Nations and the government of the United States.
Silence in the face of ongoing atrocities suggests nothing has been learned from the past. Remembering victims of the Holocaust calls for recognition of modern injustices.
