A human rights group and Canadian MPs have called for international action to halt the ongoing genocide in Darfur, which has resulted in tens of thousands of deaths and nearly 12 million displaced since the war began in April 2023. Irwin Cotler emphasized the need for humanitarian assistance and safe corridors for citizens fleeing violence, while a report highlighted atrocities committed by the Rapid Support Forces against non-Arab populations. The crisis, exacerbated by geopolitical influences, particularly affects children, with UNICEF struggling to provide aid. Critics argue that global attention is diverted by conflicts in Gaza and Ukraine, overshadowing the urgent plight in Darfur.
