3 Ethnic Targeting and Mass Displacement: Background: During this ongoing armed conflict between SAF and RSF, deliberate attacks and mass displacements of civilians particularly in West Darfur were rampant. The attacks were mainly carried out by the RSF and their allied militias targeting the Masalit communities and other communities or tribes of African ancestry, which are not considered to be Arab. During the attacks, there was killing, looting, torture, burning down of houses, and sexual violence, among other violations. According to the victims who were interviewed, the aim of the attacks by the RSF was to forcefully take over their inherited land. Interviewees also indicated that the attacks had been happening before the ongoing armed conflict and that this had already driven many to live in the IDP camps/ centres which were then further attacked during the current ongoing armed conflict. Territories where the RSF has control, communities particularly comprised of African tribes from the Nuba Mountains and Darfur, were equally attacked and targeted based on their ethnicity. 17
