    1. There has been a significant deterioration in the security situation, including increasing arbitrary killings, theft of livestock, systematic burning of entire villages in rural areas, escalating air bombardments of parts of the city and a tightening siege around El Fasher, which has halted humanitarian aid convoys and choked off commercial trade.

    1. But at the same time, the international community failed to respond and now we see a massacre unfolding, or possibly unfolding, in El Fasher. We are seeing strong messages from international leaders and actors not to attack, but civilians are still in danger.
    2. It is carried out by the same groups, the Rapid Support Forces and allied militias, [and] there is no accountability, no real investigations, and no prioritization of civilian protection.
    3. Geneina highlights the brutality of the Rapid Support Forces against the non-Arab civilian population.
    4. Between 2019 and now [there have been] numerous major attacks on the same Massalit civilian population, and in none of these cases has there been any accountability.

    1. An attack would provoke more local armed groups to join the fighting, with disastrous consequences for the civil population.

    1. These two groups not only have their own local networks but they see the Rapid Support Forces as a shared enemy which is a very potent driver to unite them.
