Es lag Unheil in der Luft. Über Stunden konnte man beobachten, wie sich kleinere Trupps der Rapid Support Forces (RSF) am Rande des Flüchtlingscamps Zamzam im Norden der Provinz Darfur sammelten. Urplötzlich begann der Angriff. Die RSF-Milizen feuerten zunächst Granaten ab, schossen dann aus Flugabwehrkanonen, die auf Pick-ups montiert waren, und stürmten das Lager. Es wurden rassistische Parolen gerufen, während sie auf ihre Opfer schossen.

Zamzam, in Darfur, has been a place of refuge for decades. A sprawling camp in western Sudan, some have estimated that it houses up to 700,000 people – a place of relative safety from the violence that has engulfed the region over the last 20 years. It was also one of the last holdouts in Darfur, one of the few places in the region not yet under the control of the Rapid Support Forces. The paramilitary group has fought a devastating civil war with the Sudanese army since April 2023.

Once they had massed on the perimeter of Sudan’s Zamzam camp, the Rapid Support Forces began the onslaught – shelling, firing from anti-aircraft guns mounted on pickup trucks and storming into the camp chanting racial slurs as they fired on their victims. An estimated 700,000 people had sought refuge in Zamzam, Sudan’s largest displacement camp, but last weekend they were forced to seek cover and plot the best escape route. Most had fled these fighters before.

It felt like an “earthquake from the sky” when an Israeli airstrike hit the clinic Dr Saif Alden had left just minutes earlier. Alden had been treating animals hurt and abandoned amid Gaza’s destruction. They survived but the equipment and medication the mobile clinic needed to function was destroyed. Still, the team saw it as a setback, not a defeat. Alden has spent the month since the airstrike traversing Gaza to scavenge the tools needed to resume operations.
