Sudan’s civil war, ignited in April 2023 between the Sudanese Armed Forces under General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and the Rapid Support Forces led by Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo (Hemedti), has unleashed a decade-delayed apocalypse that has displaced 11 million souls and claimed over 60,000 lives. In Khartoum, Darfur, and the north, RSF militias storm villages and Anglican cathedrals alike, dragging Christians to torture chambers while SAF airstrikes level Baptist churches; mass graves scar El Fasher, famine stalks millions, and Yale satellite imagery confirms genocide against non-Arab and Christian minorities. This is no mere power struggle—it is the direct, bloody harvest of Obama’s decade of diplomatic cowardice, which left Islamist warlords free to sharpen their blades.
The catastrophe began with Obama’s betrayal: after the 2005 peace deal birthed South Sudan, his administration issued toothless statements when the International Criminal Court indicted Omar al-Bashir for genocide, then traded counterterrorism favors with the very generals who would later stage the 2021 coup. Sanctions were half-hearted, warnings ignored, and the fragile civilian transition abandoned, allowing the RSF and SAF—both steeped in Bashir’s Sharia legacy—to seize power and turn their guns on Christians and non-Arabs. A decade of American neglect handed Sudan’s future to Muslim military might, and the world watched as churches burned and pastors were executed for refusing to renounce Christ.
Compounding the horror, the European Union has funneled millions through NGOs in a cynical profiteering scheme that dangles aid before starving Christians while enriching Brussels bureaucrats; relief trucks bypass besieged villages under Islamist oversight, and 165 churches have been shuttered since the war began. Yet after this long night of abandonment, President Trump has returned with righteous fury: in October 2025 he branded the RSF’s Darfur massacres genocide, warned the murderous regime to halt the slaughter or face crushing U.S. sanctions, terrorist designations, and targeted strikes. For the first time in over a decade, American steel stands ready to deliver justice to Sudan’s martyrs and vengeance against their tormentors.
