About nine million people are in need of humanitarian assistance. Rana Basharat Ali Khan* 2. *Approximately 4,000 people were targeted and killed on the basis of their ethnicity. Chairman and Founder International Human Rights Movement Rana Basharat Ali Khan* 3. *Chairman Rana Basharat Ali Khan needs the attention of the international community to solve the growing humanitarian crisis in Darfur* **In the International Human Rights Movement's address to the Africa Region Zoom Conference, Rana Basharat Ali Khan congratulates workers on their performance in Africa and nearby countries. In the recent year, the International Human Rights Movement in Africa not only actively participated in government elections but also, as the largest organization working substantially on public issues, played a significant role in addressing real challenges in Africa.** **The International Human Rights Movement's workers in Darfur and Africa will continue their efforts to address humanitarian crises and handle humanitarian aid under their initiative. In the light of recent developments in Darfur, Chairman Rana Basharat Ali Khan, representing the International Human Rights Movement, issues a statement to draw attention to the escalating humanitarian crises and human rights abuses in the region.** **The situation in Darfur is extremely alarming, with nearly nine million people in need of humanitarian assistance. Reports indicate that approximately 4,000 individuals have been targeted and killed based on their ethnic foundations, reminiscent of a distressing chapter two decades ago when the region faced violent conflict and widespread atrocities.** **Historical Context: Darfur, meaning "Land of the Fur" in Arabic, is home to approximately 80 tribes and ethnic groups. The conflict intensified in 2003 when the Sudan Liberation Army (SLA) and the Justice and Equality Movement (JEM), along with rebel groups, protested against the unequal distribution of economic resources. The Sudanese government's forces, supported by the Janjaweed militia, engaged in the conflict, resulting in dire consequences for the people of Darfur.** **Current Crisis: Recent events, including incidents of burning Al-Imam Al-Kadhim School in El Geneina city in Western Darfur State, have intensified hostilities. The conflict that began in April 2023 between the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and Sudanese armed forces has evolved into a burgeoning humanitarian crisis and a devastating human rights catastrophe, as highlighted by the Assistant Secretary-General of the United Nations, Martha Ama Akya Pobi.** **International Response: The International Criminal Court (ICC) has issued warrants for the arrest of former President Omar al-Bashir and other senior Sudanese officials for crimes against humanity and war crimes in Darfur. The United Nations-African Union Hybrid Operation (UNAMID) concluded its mission in the region in December 2020. The subsequent United Nations Integrated Transition Assistance Mission in Sudan (UNITAMS) aimed to assist during Sudan's political transition but concluded its mandate in December 2023.** **Ongoing Challenges: The United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights has received authenticated information on at least 13 mass graves in El Geneina, reflecting possible evidence of war crimes. The situation in Darfur is dire, with children dying in hospitals, severe food shortages affecting children and mothers, and camps for displaced people being set ablaze.** **Call to Action: Chairman Rana Basharat Ali Khan urges the international community to focus on resolving the escalating crisis in Darfur. Immediate assistance is needed to deliver aid, protect civilians in cities, and prevent further loss of life. The International Human Rights Movement is steadfast in advocating for international human rights and standing against injustices.** For further information, please contact: Chairman Rana Basharat Ali Khan
