The insistence of the RSF to control the entire Darfur region territories portrays their disregard and disrespect for the international community, particularly the UN Security Council that passed a Resolution in May 2024 calling upon the RSF to respect the rights of civilians. The national army has also participated in isolated attacks however, the RSF continues to carry out systematic attacks with heavy military equipment targeting the entities protected under international law, i.e., IDP camps, including Abu Shook, Zamzam, and other shelters in the Tawilla, Unkadada, and Almalha, adding more fuel to the situation and diverting it into ethnic conflicts.
