The United States government has accused members of both SAF and the RSF of war crimes, while in January of last year, The State Department issued a determination that genocide had literally been committed by the RSF and its allied militias in the Darfur region of Sudan. The World Food Program, which we are huge supporters of, has declared a famine in parts of southern and western Sudan. And there is a high risk of this famine condition spreading across the balance of the country. (03:04–03:19)
