alt Hacker NewsSudan has multiple forces at play right now. There’s the Islamic Arabs committing genocide on the non-Arabs. The RSF, largely composed of Arab nomadic groups (evolving from the Janjaweed militias), has been accused of systematic ethnic cleansing and genocide against non-Arab ethnic groups in Darfur, such as the Fur, Zaghawa, and Masalit. These attacks involve mass killings, rape, and village burnings.
There’s also the Islamic Arab monarchies (RSF) vs the Muslim Brotherhood (SAF).
The common denominator is the Islamic Arab presence from Islamic conquests. Sudan’s ethnic tensions trace back to the 7th-century Arab-Islamic conquests, which Arabized the northern Nile Valley, creating a dominant Arab-Muslim elite that marginalized non-Arab, indigenous groups in the periphery (e.g., Darfur’s Fur, Masalit, and Nuba).

RSF are described as anti-islamist on Wikipedia. Is that wrong?
It's worth noting there are islamists on both side. Anyone who characterizes this as purely religious or ethnic has a bridge to sell. This conflict would have died years ago if it weren't for foreign actors putting their hands up Sudan's ass
Typical Hasbara lying. The victims ARE THEMSELVES MUSLIMS, which you are trying to disguise in your very first sentence, just to construct a narrative.
The conflict has NOTHING to do with Islam. It's a resource grab, by (ostensibly Muslim) certain Arab states which ARE ALLIED WITH ISRAEL (in a general sense).
Birds of a feather flock together ...

Qatar is an Arab monarchy and they are backing the SAF.
