For more than a decade, the ICC has struggled to arrest those accused of orchestrating genocide in Darfur in the early 2000s
An internally displaced woman carries aids in sacks after collecting from a group at a camp in Gadaref on May 12.Prosecutors at the International Criminal Court say they are urgently accelerating their probe of atrocities in Darfur, seeking to prevent a second genocide in the region, where the perpetrators of earlier massacres have largely escaped justice.
“It is an outrage that we are allowing history to repeat itself once again in Darfur,” Mr. Khan said in a video statement on social media. Now they have broadened their probe to include North Darfur’s capital, El Fasher, the last major city in Darfur that the RSF has not yet captured. In recent weeks, the RSF has tightened its siege of the city and pushed closer to the city centre, attacking camps for displaced people and firing barrages of shells that have killed civilians.
The hospital, the only one in El Fasher equipped for mass casualties, was forced to close its doors after the latest attack. It had treated more than 1,300 injured patients over the past month. “Thousands of children, including those living in large displacement camps, are trapped in the middle of the increased fighting and are not able to reach safety,” said Adele Khodr, Unicef director for the Middle East and North Africa.
