For 13 years, United Nations and African Union peacekeepers have been stationed in the Sudanese region of Darfur. Their mission was to prevent a repeat of the genocide committed by forces aligned with ousted Sudanese president Omar al-Bashir, which left about half a million people dead.

Now, reports Ayin, Sudanese security forces including the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces previously called the Janjaweed when they backed Bashir are tasked with keeping the peace and protecting the hundreds of thousand internal refugees.
