The Worst Horror On Earth You Aren't Being Told About

On the 3rd of November of 2025, an anonymous user posted this satellite image on X with a caption, "This is the most disturbing Google Earth image ever." The user purported that the image

ever." The user purported that the image depicted a huge dark stain of blood littered with the bodies of hundreds of victims of a recent massacre committed

in Sudan. A shocking site that quickly

in Sudan. A shocking site that quickly went viral across the internet with the anonymous user demanding the viewer speak out on the ongoing genocide that's taking place in the country. The image

was viewed more than 15 million times on X and is probably the single most viewed piece of media that has come out from Sudan in the past 2 years during the country's devastating civil war. You've

maybe even seen this image yourself. And

it's all a terrible tragedy because this image isn't what you think it is. The

image was posted to X at the same time that an unprecedented massacre of people was taking place in the heavily populated city of El Fasure in the territory of Darur in western Sudan. But

the image shows an area in a much smaller town called Kumia that's about 300 km away from Elaser. Information

provided by Google Earth also showed that this particular satellite image was captured on the 16th of March of 2024, more than a year and a half ago before recent events. And even more damning,

recent events. And even more damning, earlier satellite images captured over the same location from 2022 before the civil war in Sudan had even begun still

show the exact same stain in the exact same place. Because in reality, this is

same place. Because in reality, this is simply a watering hole. And the image posted to X only shows a herd of cattle gathered around it drinking, not a pile of human bodies and blood left over from

a massacre. And what's truly infuriating

a massacre. And what's truly infuriating about this whole episode is that even though this particular mega viral post that was made to X was false and misleading, it remains highly probable

that the greatest crime of the entire 21st century did indeed just take place 300 km further to the north in the city of El Fascher. And so far, almost the

entire world hasn't even heard about it at best or is actively ignoring and suppressing it at worst. The city of Alaser is the capital of Sudan's Northstar fur state. And when the

current civil war in the country began in April of 2023, it was then under the control of the Sudin armed forces. Their

rivals in the civil war, the rapid support forces or the RSF, almost immediately began laying siege to the city the moment the war began, trapping nearly all of its estimated 260,000

residents inside, half of whom were believed to be children. For the next 18 apocalyptic, brutal months, the RSF continued tightening their noose around the city, bombarding it with artillery

and drones, refusing to allow the passage of any aid or food in and any people in or out, and steadily letting the population inside weakened to famine

and disease. More than 220 separate RSF

and disease. More than 220 separate RSF assaults were launched to seize control over the city throughout the whole 18month siege. a siege that UNICEF at

18month siege. a siege that UNICEF at one point referred to as a siege out of the medieval era rather than one from our own. In August of 2025, the RSF

our own. In August of 2025, the RSF began constructing a massive burr, a raised sand barrier, completely encircling the perimeter of El Faser to tighten their grip over the city even

further, controlling the flow of people and material in and out even more ruthlessly. By early October of 2025,

ruthlessly. By early October of 2025, Alaser and its 260,000 residents stuck inside were completely surrounded by this burm. All contained into a small

this burm. All contained into a small area of just 7 square miles that they could no longer escape from and where they were blocked off from the rest of the outside world, as seen in the

satellite imagery. And throughout the

satellite imagery. And throughout the entire period of this horrible siege, numerous people and experts from all around the world were consistently sounding the alarm that if and when El

Fasure fell to the RSF, an unbelievable massacre was awaiting for the belleaguered population still trapped inside. Because the RSF's nature has

inside. Because the RSF's nature has been well known for a while now. In mid

2023, soon after the civil war in Sudan began, the RSF captured the capital of the West First State, a city known as Eljanida. There they systematically

Eljanida. There they systematically murdered as many as 15,000 of the city's residents. Nearly 2 years later, in

residents. Nearly 2 years later, in April of 2025, on their way to Alaser, the RSF overran what was then Sudan's largest refugee camp and committed a similar atrocity, murdering more than

1,500 more people and forcibly displacing another 400,000 others.

Throughout the entire siege of Belfaser, the RSS rhetoric repeatedly portrayed the city's entire population, half of whom were children, as valid military targets who needed to be annihilated.

Threats that the outside international community ignored and ultimately failed to act upon. Finally, by the 26th of October, after 18 months of siege and nearly constant warnings, the final

positions of the Sudin armed forces were overwhelmed in the city, and the RSF flooded in from beyond the burm to assume control, and they immediately began carrying out what might well be

the most brutal and horrific war crime of the entire 21st century. enormous

ethnically targeted and systematic door-to-door mass executions began taking place that have been so catastrophic in scale that it is true pools of blood have been visible in

satellite images that have been captured over El Fascher even though that one specific one that was posted to X happened to be false. There have been plenty of other satellite images taken

that indeed appear to confirm this.

There are satellite images like this one taken on the 31st of October showing a pile of burnedout vehicles adjacent to the BBM that encircled the city. Perhaps

most hauntingly are these series of satellite images that I'm about to show you. The first was captured over a

you. The first was captured over a former children's hospital in El Fascher on the 26th of October, the day that the city fell to the RSF's forces. Just 4

days later, the hospital's entire courtyard was filled with white shapes measuring between 1 and 1/2 and 2 m in length. while a fresh disturbance in the

length. while a fresh disturbance in the soil nearby was measured between 5 and 6 m in length. 3 days later, the shapes in the courtyard remained while the excavation outside had widened to 12 by

8 m. And the following day, a layer of

8 m. And the following day, a layer of fresh soil covered up the excavation area, suggesting just one terrible crime here across an entire city full of

terrible crimes that were and still are taking place. documented by video after

taking place. documented by video after video after video that's been released by the RSF that due to their graphic nature I won't be sharing here. The

sheer scale of the killing that took place in El Fasure after the RSF took it over is at present unknown. The city was subjected to a communications blackout shortly after the RSF overran it, which

as of this video's production continues to remain in effect. But analysts who have been studying the civil war in Sudan and following the siege in El Faser, who have looked at the evidence available, suggest that the scale of

death taking place is unlike anything else we've seen in the 21st century.

Nathaniel Raymond, the executive director at Yale's humanitarian research lab that has been extensively following the war in Sudan, said that more people

could have died in just one week in Elaser after the RSF takeover than have died during the past 2 years of war in Gaza, which is just horrendously

apocalyptic to even imagine. At least

69,000 people have been killed in Gaza, according to Gaza's Health Ministry during the war with Israel over these past 2 years, implying that the Yale humanitarian research lab believes that

even more human beings than that could have been killed in just a single week in El Fasure. And there's a very good chance that this is the very first time that you're even hearing about it. To

put the scale of this calamity even further into context, if accurate, that's a scale of killing that hasn't been seen anywhere in the world since the opening days of the Rwanda genocide

in 1994. And yet, the world outside of

in 1994. And yet, the world outside of Elaser, Darur, and Sudan has barely even heard anything about it. Even as the RSF continues its killings in Alfasure and continues its advances across the rest

of the country that may yet befall similar horrendous ends, the world is doing precious little to stop the horrors that are actively taking place in Darfur right now with other major

conflicts competing for international attention that are still taking place in Ukraine and Gaza. But if you'd like to learn about what's happening in Darur right now, if you give a damn about what's happening here, and if you want

to learn the ongoing genocide sources and how it might be stopped, I'm begging you to watch this video and to share it more than any other video that I've ever produced on this channel. Because there

is a way to stop what's happening in Darfur before tens to hundreds of thousands of more people are lost there forever. And to get to how, you need to

forever. And to get to how, you need to first understand what's happening in Darfur in the first place and how this all got so so terrible there today.

Darur's history is complicated to say the least. Today, it's a region of

the least. Today, it's a region of Western Sudan that borders the Central African Republic, Chad, and Libya. But

that's a fairly recent development historically. Existing at the fringes of

historically. Existing at the fringes of both the Arab and the subsaharan African worlds, Darur has experienced centuries of migration, ethnic mixing, and inner marriage that has made ethnic identity

here extremely fluid and difficult for outsiders to parse. Many modern

commentators have simplified the modern Darur conflict by boiling it all down into one of ancient ethnic tensions between Arabs and black Africans, but that's not entirely accurate. If you, as

an outsider, travel to Darur, you won't notice any visible racial or religious differences between the two sides that are involved in this violence. Everybody

present in Darur, regardless of whether or not they identify as Arab or African, are equally black, equally Muslim, and equally indigenous to the land that they reside on. Within Darfur, the identities

reside on. Within Darfur, the identities of Arab and African are more based on linguistics and occupation. There are a variety of Arabic-speaking nomadic tribes who practice pastoralism that

identify as Arab largely concentrated in northern Darfur historically and a variety of non-Arabic speaking sedentary groups who practice farming largely concentrated in the south who identify

as more African with the more well-known larger groups being the masselate, the Zagawa, and the fur. The latter of whom are the group that the region of Darur itself is named after roughly

translating into land of the fur. Even

still, it's important for you to understand that these identities are not rigid in Darur and that the occupational identities between pastoralist Arabs and farmer Africans are often crossed. For

most of the pre-colonial era, the fur were the dominant group in this part of the world and they maintained an independent sultanate for centuries until it was crushed and conquered

fairly recently historically in 1874 by a Sudin warlord who joined it for the first time into Sudan. Sudan itself was then later conquered by the colonial forces of Britain and Egypt and Sudan

was transformed into a joint Anglo Egyptian colony in 1899. At the same time, the Darur Sultanate was restored by a descendant of the royal lineage of the previous Sultanate and so Darur was

allowed to retain its independence again in exchange for an annual tribute.

Darfur then remained independent again for a number of years until the first world war when its leader began aligning himself with the Ottoman Empire which provoked the British into invading and

conquering Darur and annexing it back into Anglo Egyptian Sudan in 1916.

Meaning that Darfur has really only been a part of Sudan for just a little over a hundred years now. Throughout the entire period of colonial and postcolonial Sudin rule in Darfur that has persisted

since 1916, Darfur has remained a deeply rural remote underdeveloped and neglected region out of the country's periphery. Sudan itself came to be

periphery. Sudan itself came to be dominated politically, culturally, and economically by a relatively small group of Arabic-speaking elites in the upper Nile Valley near the capital and the

largest city of Kart 2, to whom all resources in the country were sent to and were virtually all development being concentrated without much at all shared with any of the peripheral regions that

were largely made up of non-Arabs and/or non-Muslims who understandably came to feel increasingly marginalized, particularly in Darur in the west and especially in what would eventually

become South Sudan in the south. Darur

is a geographically huge region that's roughly comparable in size to Spain. And

since it is a long region from north to south and also extends across a variety of different climate zones. The

northernmost parts of Darur are arid deserts within the Sahara that connect with the borders of Egypt and Libya. The

center is a rugged arid plateau that is dominated by the towering Mara mountains that provide abundant water. While the

south is a rich savannah environment that also receives a considerable amount of rainfall. Broadly speaking, the

of rainfall. Broadly speaking, the northern parts of Darura have historically been inhabited by camelowning Arabic speaking nomadic peoples who seek out grazing land for their livestock while the southern parts

have historically been inhabited by farming non-Arabic-speaking sedentary people. For centuries, as the northern

people. For centuries, as the northern Arabic-speaking nomads traveled south with their herds, they entered into negotiations for their animal routes with the farming communities that they came into contact with, which came to be legally sanctioned by the Sudin

government itself during the postc colonial era. But in the 1980s, this

colonial era. But in the 1980s, this historical system began rapidly breaking down in the face of a catastrophic drought and ensuing famine. As the

climate began to change in Darur, the available supply of arable land began to shrink. Rainfall began becoming less

shrink. Rainfall began becoming less frequent and more difficult to predict.

At the same time as Darfur's population was rising rapidly, which kickstarted a dangerous cycle in which arable land along the southern rim of the Sahara came to be used more intensively to

support the growing population, which in turn further the rate of desertification and so on. In 1983 and 84, the raids in Darfur failed completely. Desperate

farmers in the south faced with the failure of their crops began switching to animal husbandry and grazing. While

desperate nomads in the north faced with a shrinking supply of grazing land began moving south and entering into conflicts with the southerners, tens of thousands of Daruries simply walked across the

country to cartoon in search of food only to become falsely declared as refugees from Chad and sent back by the government to Darur where they had come from where there wasn't any food. In the

end, a devastating famine killed an estimated 95,000 people at Darfur between these years out of a population that at the time stood at just 3.1

million, implying that about 3% of the population was lost. And at the same time, the increasing competition over shrinking resources like arable land and

water was being inflamed by a new sense of ethnic identity that was being pushed in by Sudan's elites and by outside influences.

Sudan's Arabic-speaking elites far away in cartoon had long concentrated the lion's share of economic development within their own region at the expense of all of the country's peripheries. But

they also attempted to create a unifying national identity of the postcolonial era that was based around Arabism and Islam much to the fury of the non-Arab and non-Muslim peoples around the

periphery. These policies especially

periphery. These policies especially inflamed tensions in the south of Sudan where the people were neither Arab nor Muslim and led to decades of massive civil wars and violence between the

north and the south that ultimately resulted in the deaths of millions of people. But they also led to steadily

people. But they also led to steadily rising tensions in Darur as well as violence from the north south conflict spilled over into it. The international

borders between Darur and neighboring countries like Chad and Libya are particularly porous and in many cases only really exist on paper. Many of the non-Arabic speaking ethnic groups in

Darur like the Zagawa and the Masselate straddle the border with Chad and spill over onto the other side just like the Arabic speaking groups in northern Darfur do as well. Meaning that

conflicts erupting in either Chad or Darfur have a bad habit of spreading across the international border across their communities. This problem was

their communities. This problem was particularly acute to the 1980s at the same time as Darfur was suffering its chronic famine when Chad was simultaneously involved in a series of

civil wars that saw heavy military intervention from Muar Gaddafi's Libya.

At this time, Gaddafi, an arded pan-Arab nationalist, was obsessed with creating a geopolitical vision that he called the Arab belt across the Sahel region of

Africa. a series of statelets consisting

Africa. a series of statelets consisting of the Arabic-speaking peoples found across Chad, Nijair, and Mali that he wanted to separate from their countries in order to create a continuous belt of

Arab majority states across the Sahel from the Red Sea to the Atlantic. To

support this goal, Gaddafi created a paramilitary militia that he called the Islamic Legion in the early 1970s. It

came to be largely composed of thousands of impoverished Arabic-sp speakaking volunteers in search of money from Chad and especially from the nomadic northern communities in Darur and was deployed by

Gaddafi to fight against the Chadian government throughout the 1980s along with the flood of weapons. The Islamic

Legion took advantage of the poorest borders between Chad and Darur and utilized Darur as a rear base to launch raids and attacks into Chad from while their weapons proliferated across Darur

as well. The Islamic Legion came to

as well. The Islamic Legion came to openly embrace an ethnic Arab supremacist ideology that was pushed down from the top by Gaddafi himself.

And after Libya was ultimately defeated in Chad and the Legion was disbanded in the late 1980s, many of their well-trained members began returning back home to Darur, armed with both

their weapons and their ideology amidst the increasing environmental issues that were already pushing the region towards conflict. These returning former members

conflict. These returning former members of the Islamic Legion then founded a new political block in Darfur that they called the Arab gathering which continued to espouse an Arab supremacist

ideology and claimed that the Arabic speaking people in Darfur were being politically and economically marginalized by the non-Arabic-speaking African peoples in the region like the

fur and the Zagawa despite the fact that the Arabic-speaking peoples made up a majority of the overall population.

non-Arabic-speaking African identifying communities then began forming self-defense militias in order to resist them. And so identity divisions that had

them. And so identity divisions that had once been local and ecological in Darur like herders versus farmers suddenly became ethnopolitical and even racialized in nature in a way that they

had never really been before the 1980s.

While the central government in cartoon that also espoused an Arab and Muslim supremacist ideology began arming and supporting the Arab gathering and other Arab militias in Darur to help retain

their control over the region.

Small-scale violence between both communities began building, resulting in a few thousand deaths across the 1990s that was only overshadowed by the much larger fighting that was still raging

between the North and the South. By

2003, after more than 21 years of civil war between the North and the South, and after as many as 2 million deaths, both sides were exhausted in a stalemate. And

so, the Sudin government, dominated by the Arabic speaking elites of Cartoum, decided to finally enter into a peace negotiations with the South to put an end to the war once and for all. The

agreement they came up with ended the long-running North South civil war and paved the way for the South's ultimate secession and independence that would come a few years later in 2011. But it

was also heavily criticized at the time for only focusing on the North South conflict and none of Sudan's other peripheral conflicts like the one that had emerged separately in Darur. Enraged

at the neglect that was afforded to Darfur and its problems by the elites and cartoon once again, two rebel movements emerged in the region called the Sudan Liberation Army or SLA and the

Justice and Equality Movement or JM.

Both of which demanded greater autonomy for Darur from the central government in a redistribution of political power and economic resources. By April of 2003,

economic resources. By April of 2003, rebels from both of these groups began attacking Sudin army bases across Darur and began scoring rapid victories due to the Sudin army still being overextended

and preoccupied down in the south. So

instead of diverting their army away from the south to take care of the situation, the Sudin government resorted to exploiting the ethnic tensions that had recently emerged in Darur and began arming the Arabic speaking groups in the

region to turn against the others and act as their legal enforcers instead of the army. These Arabic speaking militias

the army. These Arabic speaking militias in Darfur armed by the government and backed by the regular army brigades and the air force came to be known as the John and they were sanctioned by the

government to put down the rebellion in Darfur by any and all means necessary.

Any village in the region that was inhabited by the same ethnicity as a rebel leader who were most often non-Arabs were considered to be valid targets for their attacks. And because

the government usually couldn't pay the fighters of the Janjoued a reliable salary like they could the army, they enabled them to loot and pillage at will wherever they advance for their compensation instead. The result was a

compensation instead. The result was a devastatingly brutal crackdown in Darur that for a time put previously obscure Darfur front and center on the world

stage and the international agenda. Tens

of thousands of civilians in Darurb were directly massacred by the Janje and their collaborators, while hundreds of thousands of others are believed to have died due to the resulting famine and

disease that their actions caused. In

total, between 2003 and 2005, around 300,000 people at Darur were likely killed as a direct result of the Jonjoued's actions.

Satellite images taking over Darur at the time showed villages ablaze and clear signs of mass atrocities. A major

advocacy group was formed in the United States called the Save Darur coalition to raise the public's awareness of what was going on and to put pressure on the US government to take decisive action to

stop it. And it was backed by multiple

stop it. And it was backed by multiple influential celebrities at the time like George Clooney, Don Cheetel, Mia Pharaoh, Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, Alicia Keys, Oprah Winfrey, Matt Damon,

and Johnny Depp among many others. The

publicity and pressure that they applied on the US government contributed to then US Secretary of State Colin Pal to formally declare that the John Joued was committing genocide in Darfur in 2004.

Around the same time, an inquiry by the UN concluded that there was irrefutable evidence of war crimes taking place in Darfur on a vast scale and urged the security council to refer the case to

the International Criminal Court or the ICC. A subsequent UN resolution demanded

ICC. A subsequent UN resolution demanded that the Sudin government disarm the Jaguid and halt their military flights that they were conducting over Darfur.

Though the UN has consistently avoided using the term genocide while referring to these events that took place in Darthur, a great degree of controversy arose over whether or not the events

that took place in Darfur at this time constituted the crime of genocide or not. To date, the US government is the

not. To date, the US government is the only government in the world that has actually declared the crisis in Darfur during that time to have been genocidal in nature. The UN formally concluded

in nature. The UN formally concluded that while the Sudanese government's actions in Darfur were brutal and deliberate, they lacked genocidal intent because the government's primary goal

was counterinsurgency, not the deliberate destruction of entired groups of people. while others like the US

of people. while others like the US government disagreed and concluded that the Janjawed was specifically targeting non-Arab groups in Darfur with violence.

All of which gave rise to a unique term to describe the events that took place in Darfur at this time the ambiguous genocide. By 2006 the government and

genocide. By 2006 the government and some of the rebel groups in Darur signed a peace agreement. But other rebel factions continued to fight on and the overall violence continued but to a

lesser scale than between 2003 and 2005.

The Chanjaweed continued to terrorize the population in Darur, while the government blamed the continued violence on the rebels who had rejected the peace accords and claimed rather implausibly that only 10,000 people in Darfur had

been killed by all of the violence that was taking place. The government

initially refused to allow international monitors into Darur and heavily restricted the flow of information that was coming out of the region. While they

vehemently opposed the UN's efforts to deploy a peacekeeping force to Darur based on the argument that such a force would be a violation of their national sovereignty. Eventually in 2007, Sudan

sovereignty. Eventually in 2007, Sudan relented and allowed a joint African Union UN peacekeeping force to be deployed to Darur to protect civilians and monitor ceasefires that at the time

was the largest peacekeeping force assembled anywhere in the world. By the

2010s, the rebel movements in Darfur began splintering into smaller factions.

And although the scale of violence declined, more than 2 and a half million people in the region continued to remain displaced in refugee camps out of a total population that at the time stood

at only just a little over 6 million.

The government would eventually declare the war in Sudan to be over by 2016. And

in 2017, the UN began scaling down their operations as the pace of violence continued declining. By 2020, the UN's

continued declining. By 2020, the UN's mission would conclude entirely. But

despite the overwhelming evidence towards the scale of war crimes and atrocities that took place in Darfur during all of this time, hardly anyone has ever been legally held to account,

which has no doubt instilled a sense of complete impunity amongst those committing the current atrocities and again today. Although the Sudanese

again today. Although the Sudanese government sometimes paid lip service to holding Jon officers and commanders responsible for war crimes, no such officers or commanders have yet ever

been brought to trial. Far to the contrary, in 2013, the ragtag John militia from Darur was formerly elevated in status by Sudan's then dictator Omar

Albashir into a completely separate and parallel armed forces in the country that came to be called the rapid support forces or the RSF. done so because Albashir hoped that the move would earn

him their loyalty and enable him to play the RSF and the Sudin armed forces against each other to prevent them from ever being able to join together and overthrow him. The ICC has done a little

overthrow him. The ICC has done a little bit better than the Sudin government, but not by much. The ICC issued warrants for Omar Albashir's arrest in 2009 and 2010 on charges of crimes against

humanity and genocide, but a date the court has still never managed to get their hands on him. Very recently in October of 2025, the ICC found one

former John Joued commander, best known by his alias, Cushe, guilty on 27 counts of war crimes and crimes against humanity that were committed in Darfur.

But to date, he is the only person who has ever been brought to trial over what happened in Darfur more than 20 years ago. And the only reason it happened at

ago. And the only reason it happened at all was because he voluntarily surrendered himself to the ICC in 2020 out of a fear that an even worse fate was awaiting him if he remained any

longer in Sudan. Eventually, Omar

Albashir strategy of playing the RSF and the Sudin armed forces against each other failed by 2019 and he was overthrown during a popular revolution that turned into a coup. The RSF's

leader, Muhammad Hamdan Dagalo, better known as Himemedi, and the Sudin armed forces leader, Abdel Fatal Burhan, then entered into a power sharing agreement with Alberhan serving as president and

Jimedi serving as vice president. Four

years later, after almost constant failed power sharing renegotiations, the two men couldn't stand to share power in Sudan with the other any longer. And by

April of 2023, their rival armies finally began shooting at each other.

And so began the current ongoing civil war in the country. Now, with all of this context that I've been building for you, it's very important to understand right now that the current civil war in

Sudan isn't just a war between two power-hungry rival generals. It's also

one between two fundamentally different heirs of the same regime that has dominated Sudan ever since it gained its independence from Britain in the 1950s.

the Sudanese armed forces led by the same kind of Arab officers from Sudan's longtime ethnic and political center in the upper Nile Valley and the RSF which is just the latest iteration of Darfur's

Arabic-speaking ideological militias that draws a continuous line back to the Johned of the 2000s and Gaddafi's Islamic Legion of the 1980s and '7s and even before the current enormous

atrocity that appears to have just taken place in Alaser happened the war between them across Sudan was probably already the worst ongoing humanitarian crisis anywhere in the world, going even beyond

the parallel tragedies that are also taking place in Ukraine and Gaza. The UN

declared that famine had become endemic in Sudan more than a year ago back in 2024. While further UN reports concluded

2024. While further UN reports concluded that some 25 million people in the country are currently facing extreme levels of hunger, while at least 12 million people have been forced to flee

from their homes, including 4 million who have fled the country altogether. By

August of 2025, a little more than 2 years into the fighting of the war, the former US special envoy for Sudan until very recently, Tom Perelloo reported that he believed the death toll from the

war had exceeded more than 400,000 people. And this was while El Faser was

people. And this was while El Faser was still under siege by the RSF and the massacre there had not yet even happened. And while the RSF and the

happened. And while the RSF and the Sudin armed forces have been viciously fighting each other for power across the country with abundant war crimes, the RSF has also been furthering the

ethnic-based terror in Darur against the non-Arabic speaking communities there that their Janji predecessors began in the early 2000s. Many large-scale RSF perpetrated massacres of

non-Arabic-speaking peoples in Darur like the Massalate were well documented even before their siege of El Fasure such as at Eljanida in 2023 where they

systematically killed as many as 15,000 people including the local governor in houseto-house massacres and drove hundreds of thousands of others out after taking the city over. Throughout

the entire 18 months that Alfaser was under a complete siege by the RSF with more than 200,000 mostly non-Arabic-speaking Zagawa civilians trapped inside. The international

trapped inside. The international community did little to actually stop what nearly anyone who paid attention to this conflict knew would result in a catastrophic massacre if the RSF managed

to break through. Throughout it all, the UN Security Council issued just two resolutions that only called for a temporary ceasefire and an end to the siege at El Fasure without any concrete

enforcement mechanisms to back them up.

In early 2025, with the siege still ongoing, one of the Biden administration's final acts was to declare that the RSF was once again responsible for committing genocide at

Darur just like their John predecessors.

a determination that has been continued by the current Trump administration as well. Financial and travel sanctions

well. Financial and travel sanctions have since been applied by the US government on Jimedi and other RSF leadership, but none of these have caused any perceptible changes down on

the ground. Alaser was still ultimately

the ground. Alaser was still ultimately overrun by the RSF. And now potentially tens of thousands of people who were trapped inside, terrified for more than

18 months are dead. the evidence of which has flooded the internet from videos taken by the RSF themselves and from satellites orbiting above in space.

And now that al fascia has fallen, the RSF has been left almost entirely in control of the whole of Darur. meaning

that there is a very real prospect that Sudan may further bulcanize now between a genocidal RSF regime in power in Darur and the Sudanese armed forces in power

in the rest of the country that still remains leaving behind the rest of Darur's non-Arabic speaking minorities to the RSF's mercy which based on all

prior evidence simply does not exist more massacres and brutality in Darur is all but a certainty with the RSF still in power but if there's any silver lining from the scale of what's just

happened in Elf Fasher, it's the fact that for the first time since this horrible civil war began in Sudan, the world's attention has briefly returned back to Darur again, and there is a

small window of opportunity to pressure a change before the situation inevitably gets even more apocalyptic.

The primary force that is enabling the RSF to commit their atrocities at Darur is a key US regional ally. The United

Arab Emirates or the UAE who provided the RSF with the lion's share of their arms, finances, and political cover throughout the civil war. The UAE is one

of the wealthiest countries in the world thanks to their enormous oil resources, and they're also one of the world's top international arms customers as well.

Between 2007 and 2014, the UAE ordered more than $22 billion worth of conventional arms, mostly from the US and major Western European states like

France and the UK. In 2020, the UAE entered into a massive brand new $23 billion arms deal with the United States, including modern F-35 fighters,

Reaper drones, and billions of dollars worth of munitions. Well, they've doled out billions of dollars for additional arms purchases from France, Britain, Russia, and China as well. And huge

amounts of these arms that the UAE have been purchasing from all around the world have been ending up in the hands of the RSF in Darur. After the city of Omderman near the capital was taken back

over by the Sudin armed forces earlier this year, they reported that they uncovered an arsenal of hundreds of modern Americanmade javelin missile systems and countless rounds of 155mm

artillery shells that the RSF had abandoned. Verified footage of RSF

abandoned. Verified footage of RSF fighters have shown them armed with Americanmade M4 and AR-15 rifles.

British-made engines have been discovered in RSF armored personnel carriers along with French and Russian weapons and Chinese drones. The advanced

Chinese-made CH95 drone has been frequently spotted in the hands of the RSF and Darur recently which have given the RSF advanced military capabilities like long range reconnaissance and air

strikes. But none of these countries

strikes. But none of these countries have been directly supplying the RSF with these weapons because they're being funneled into their hands by the UAE. A

little over two years ago, the Wall Street Journal was the first major outlet that reported on the UAE supply chain of weapons to the RSF. At the

time, the Journal alleged that the UAE was flying cargo planes to a nearby airport across the border in Chad that were laden with weapons bound for the RSF and that the UAE was disguising

these cargo planes and arms shipments as humanitarian missions. In the spring of

humanitarian missions. In the spring of 2025, the RSF began experiencing a series of major military setbacks in their war against the Sudin armed forces

that culminated with their loss of the country's capital cartoon in March.

After that, fearing that the RSF was losing the war, evidence suggests that the UAE began rapidly increasing the pace of their arms deliveries to them, which has been reported by America's Defense Intelligence Agency and the

State Department's intelligence bureau using battlefield and satellite images.

In addition to their usual route of funneling arms into the RSF's hands through Chad, the UAE has begun adding additional arms smuggling routes using cargo planes to Somalia and Libya as

well with land transfers directly to the RSF continuing on from them. It was this rapid increase in arms from the UAE in mid 2025 that enabled the RSF to tighten

their noose around El Fasure and to increase the pace of their attacks and pressure and which ultimately led to the probable massacre that we're currently observing from space. And without the major arm sales that countries are

making with the UAE that are then being transferred by them to the RSF, it's doubtful that the RSF would be capable of continuing on fighting or committing its countless atrocities. The UAE is

doing all of this because they see the RSF has the best odds at defending their own interests in Sudan. The UAE is ultimately interested in access to Sudan's strategic Red Sea ports, its

agricultural commodities, and most of all, the country's rich gold deposits.

Sudan is one of the most naturally gold-rich countries in the world, and the richest areas are located in Darur.

And while smuggling gold out of the country isn't anything new, it has rapidly expanded since the start of the current civil war. For the past few years, an informal and clandestine

arrangement has been established between the UAE and the RSF that sees weapons flowing towards the RSF and gold flowing back towards the UAE. Gold from RSFrun

mines in Darurus, smuggled across borders in a Chad, the Central African Republic, South Sudan, and Uganda, and then airlifted directly out to Dubai. In

2024, with the civil war raging throughout the year, the UAE was Sudan's largest export market with 1.6 billion

worth of total exports, 91% of which was all just entirely gold, which also made up more than half of all of Sudan's exports. Gold has become one of the

exports. Gold has become one of the UAE's most significant diversification strategies away from oil, which has seen Dubai become transformed into one of the primary trading hubs in the global gold

trade. The city is now home to thousands

trade. The city is now home to thousands of gold traders in numerous gold refineries. While Africa has become the

refineries. While Africa has become the country's primary source of gold, gold imports from Africa into the UAE nearly tripled over just a decade between 2012

and 2022. In 2022 specifically, the UAE

and 2022. In 2022 specifically, the UAE imported roughly 59.5 billion dollar worth of gold into the country and 58% of that amount all just

came from Africa. According to data acquired from Swiss aid that was released in 2024.

Very notably, this also meant that in 2022, almost 7% of the UAE's entire GDP was made up of imported African gold.

And a significant amount of that has been coming from the mines of Darur under the RSF's control. But the weapons that the UAE is providing to the RSF in exchange for this gold supply is

directly contributing to enormous historical atrocities like what's just happened at El Fascher. And the weapons that the US and other countries are selling to the UAE are directly

contributing to it as well. The key to halting the RSS wanting massacres and brutality in Darur lies in pressuring the UAE into ending their support for

the group. But that's unfortunately

the group. But that's unfortunately easier said than done. The UAE is a major US ally in the Middle East and is friendly and useful to Washington in many different ways. In addition to

simply purchasing tens of billions of dollars worth of US weapons and stuffing the coffers of US defense industry companies, the UAE has also committed to

investing a massive 1.4 trillion dollars into the United States over the next 10 years in sectors like AI, data centers, energy, and manufacturing. The UAE hosts

a major US Air Force base in Al Dafra, which is home to the US 380th Air Expeditionary Wing that has been used to support aerial missions in the region against ISIS and Iran. The UAE has also

been the most significant Arab power to date to join the Trump administration's Abraham Accords that normalize their relations with Israel, and they have voiced their support for Trump's proposed peace plan in Gaza as well.

Piling on pressure on the UAE to cut their support for the RSF risks severing the lucrative gold trade that's flowing from Darfur to the UAE. And by

extension, it risks jeopardizing the massive financial investments and arms purchases that the UAE is making with the United States. The status of a key US air force base in the Middle East.

And perhaps worst of all, it could jeopardize the whole Abraham Accords by causing the UAE to reconsider the recognition of Israel, which would risk upending what has so far been one of the

Trump administration's greatest diplomatic victories. Nonetheless, the

diplomatic victories. Nonetheless, the ongoing genocide that appears to be taking place in Darur will not be stopped by the same kind of words,

condemnations, and empty statements that the outside world has attempted so far.

The only way that it stops is by actually interfering with the RSF's ability to kill. And the only way to do that is by severing the supply chain of weapons flowing towards them by the UAE.

A combination of diplomatic pressure, sanctions, asset freezes, and suspending arms deals with the UAE is the only possible way to do this. But because

there's simply so much money and influence that the UAE wields within the US, it's unclear if the US government will ever be able to actually muster the resolve to do what's necessary. I can

only hope that I'm wrong and that in the future, even worse tragedies in Darthur following the nightmare that's already taking place in El Fascher can still be

prevented before it's all far too late for everyone else who's still there.

The horrors that are currently taking place in Darur today also didn't just suddenly come out of nowhere. Just like

how the Holocaust didn't begin in the 1940s and the Rwanda violence didn't begin in 1994, interethnic violence and genocides never begin in a vacuum and always happen after years or even

decades of building tension and warning signs. And in Darur's case, a lot of the

signs. And in Darur's case, a lot of the origin for the violence taking place today goes back to Muamar Gaddafi and his influence over the region back in the 1970s and 80s. And if there were

ever an award to be given for the most eccentric or bizarre leader of modern history, there's no other person who would deserve it better than Gaddafi.

Always dripped out in his flamboyant robes and designer sunglasses for public appearances, Gaddafi's time in power in Libya that lasted for more than 40 years was full of some of international

relations most memorable moments. Like

the time at the 35th G8 summit in 2008 when he proposed the partition of Switzerland after Swiss authorities had arrested his son for beating his servants at a hotel. Or the time when he

came to a UN conference in New York City and attempted to pitch a massive tent that he intended to reside in inside of Central Park. Or the time he went on a

Central Park. Or the time he went on a possibly drugfueled hour-long rant at the UN in 2009 about attempting to find JFK's real assassin and calling for the UN headquarters to be relocated to

Libya. He also launched an invasion of

Libya. He also launched an invasion of neighboring Chad to the south of Libya in an attempt to conquer territory and in the process banned the flames of ethnic tension and violence in Darur in

order to achieve his own ends. among his

many other conflicts that he started with the United States, his global support for countless terrorist and militant organizations that were as ideologically diverse as the IRA and the

Japanese Red Army, and his own ultimate war with his own people in 2011 that led to a NATO military intervention in his own grizzly videotaped demise. He was

throughout it all, however, potentially the single most interesting and bizarre leader to have ever graced the world of geopolitics over the past half century.

And because any real in-depth video about Gaddafi's time in power would immediately become demonetized and age restricted here on YouTube, I made an entire new documentary exploring him in

my brand new original documentary series that I'm calling Mad Kings instead, which take deeper dives into the bizarre personal lives and erratic decision-making of modern history's most

unstable and eccentric dictators. And

because of the inherently violent and darker subject material surrounding this series, my documentary deeply investigating the life and power of Gaddafi would never work out on YouTube because it would instantly become

demonetized and age restricted, which means that YouTube's algorithm, which is based around showing you ads, would never be incentivized to actually show the video to you or to promote it. I

deal with very large numbers of my videos on YouTube getting demonetized and age restricted as they already are.

Probably even including the one that you just watched. And that's why I'll be

just watched. And that's why I'll be uploading all of my documentaries and Mad Kings, including this one on Muamar Gaddafi, exclusively to Nebula, and why signing up to Nebula is the absolute

best thing that you can do to support me and my channel. You'll also get access to way more content than just this new Mad King series. as well. You'll also be able to watch the nearly 50 other

exclusive documentaries that I've published to Nebula in my separate modern conflict series as well, which explore 21st century wars, battles, conflicts, and genocides using a level

of depth of frankness that would also never work on YouTube without triggering demonetization or age restriction issues. This is all possible because the

issues. This is all possible because the best part about Nebula is that it's jointly co-owned by myself and hundreds of other independent creators to make the projects that we're all actually

deeply excited about without any fear of being censored or demonetized like we are on YouTube. Because since it's a subscriber-based platform, we don't have to cater around the sensitive needs of

advertisers and a faceless algorithm that nobody really understands. That's

why there's tons of other new unique content on Nebula that's coming out all the time too that you'll also love like Neo's underexposure series, Wendover Productions, the logistics of X series,

TLDDR newses what to follow USA series and so so many others. I also know that there's a lot of streaming platforms out there right now and you don't want to get stuck with another monthly cost to

keep track of. But I also know that if you watched this all the way through to the end, there is so much content on Nebula that you'll love as well. And so

much more coming out with every new month that you could consider a lifetime membership to Nebula as well. You just

pay once and then you'll get lifetime access to everything that I and hundreds of other creators will ever produce on Nebula for as long as we both last. And

you'll never have to worry about a recurring subscription or ads ever again. Normally, a lifetime subscription

again. Normally, a lifetime subscription to Nebula costs $500, but if you use my link, you'll get an incredibly solid 40% off discount and be able to snag one for

just $300 instead. That's the best way possible to support what I'm doing here on Real Life. But even if you'd rather not make that large of an upfront commitment, you can still help support

me by signing up for a yearly or monthly subscription to Nebula as well by scanning the QR code or clicking the button here on your screen right now or by following the link that's down below
