SUBSCRIBER+ EXCLUSIVE REPORTING – Afraid to show his face and wedged into an overstuffed refugee camp on Sudan’s border with Chad, a middle-aged man named Ridwan recalled the night last November when militant forces – known interchangeably as the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) or the Janjaweed – stormed his village, destroying his home, his car and all his other possessions. Ridwan watched as entire neighborhoods burned, and terrified civilians were slain in the streets before he paid a bribe to flee his homeland of Darfur, in western Sudan, to neighboring Chad.
“This is a purely racial war,” Ridwan told The Cipher Brief. “This is purely based on ethnic identity, on taking our land.”
