Why Genocide "kill the men and change the gene pool by raping women and having babies that are Arabs, not Masalit or Fur or any other black ethnicity."

‘We will make you have Arab babies’: fears of genocide amid rape and torture in Sudan’s Darfur

UN report indicates militia fighters are attempting to wipe out non-Arab ethnic groups in the region

In the 18 months since fighting began, the RSF and Sudanese army have fought bitter battles for power across the country, displacing around 14 million people according to the UN, while at least 19,000 people have been killed.

It also cited an example of fighters leaving after being told a 15-year-old girl they wanted to rape was from a prominent Arab family.

Activists said that the RSF and the Janjaweed militias had a long history of using sexual violence that stretched back to its numerous attacks on non-Arabs in the early 2000s, a period of violence that is under investigation for genocide at the International Criminal Court.

Hala Al-Karib, regional director of women’s rights group Strategic Initiative for Women in the Horn of Africa, said conditions in Darfur had deteriorated since the ending of UN peacekeeping in the region in 2020, empowering Arab militias and their leaders.

“The RSF has used sexual violence as a tool for ethnic cleansing and there are definitely footprints of genocide, particularly in western Darfur. I don’t think the scale of what happened there is still fully known,” said Karib.

“The RSF has in a very structural way used gang rape and other forms of sexual violence and sexual slavery as a tool for landgrabbing, forced evictions and to break communities and kill any possibility of resistance to the utmost domination the RSF is seeking on the region.”

Marwa Gibril, a doctor and Darfuri activist, also said the RSF was using sexual violence across Sudan to break communities but with a particular ethnic focus in Darfur.

She said the tribes that RSF recruit from believed in their superiority over other communities because of their Arab heritage.

“To keep their superiority, they invade these areas and make sure that they kill the men and change the gene pool by raping women and having babies that are Arabs, not Masalit or Fur or any other black ethnicity,” said Gibril.
