Since the beginning of the war, it is in Darfur, a vast region like France where a quarter of the Sudanese live, that the violence has been the most intense. Several states in this region have experienced very violent and sometimes ethnic clashes. North Darfur State is one of them, but a local initiative is now seeking to pacify this state through dialogue.

The Governor of North Darfur, Nimr Mohamad Abderrahman, seized the occasion of the Muslim holiday on Wednesday to call on all Sudanese to multiply peaceful initiatives and to favor dialogue to establish peace at the level of each State or region as of the initiative taken in his own State.
« We in North Darfur Governorate have taken a good initiative with the participation of many parties. We sat down together: civil administrations, NGOs, youth police and women’s unions… We concluded that we have nothing to gain from the war, on the contrary we will be losers. The agreement was reached with all parties and other actors who played a role in bringing about peace. »
Among these actors, the movements of the ex-rebels of Darfur. Nimr Mohamad Abderrahmane denounced an absurd war calling on all the living forces of society to move to quickly end the bloodshed. However, violence continues in other Darfur states.
According to several sources, it is the state of central Darfur which has known since Tuesday an attack by the Rapid Support Forces, and their auxiliary Arab militia. In Zalengei, capital of this state, the administrative centers, the police station, the customs as well as the hospital, were looted and burned.
According to the UN and residents of Darfur, civilians are targeted and killed by the RSF and surrogate Arab militias for their ethnicity.
