 The conflict in Sudan is taking an ethnic turn in Darfur, the UN said today at a time when the number of people who have fled the fight in abroad exceeds 560,000 and the number of displaced persons in the country is close to 2 million. The war that broke out on April 15 between the Sudanese armed forces, led by General Abdul Fattah al-Bohan and the rapid support forces of General Mohammed Amda Daglow, also known as Hematih, soon spewed over into Darfur, where the latter comes from. The fighting quickly turned into a conflict between the gender-weed Arab militias, massively supported by the RSF and the so-called African, which is a non-Arab community, such as the Masalids, who have formed self-defense groups. The roots of the conflict in Darfur have both regional and local dimensions. The region bothers Libya and Charter the West, which has had a destabilizing effect on them.
