The battle for Darfur + Chinese weapons in Sudan

As the war for Sudan's Darfur region heats up, the Rapid Support
Forces (RSF) are stepping up their brutal siege on the last
remaining army stronghold of El Fasher, with new satellite
pictures showing a wall being built around the northern city.


The RSF have been accused of genocide for conducting a campaign
of violence, rape and murder against Darfur's non-Arab
communities. Famine has been declared in the region and millions
have been displaced.


To understand what is going on in El Fasher, Venetia speaks to
the head of the Darfur Human Rights Network, Mohammed Adam
Hassan, who is Darfurian and in contact with people on the
ground.


Plus Amnesty's head of crisis research, explosives expert Brian
Castner, explains why he believes the UAE is arming the RSF,
including with sophisticated Chinese weapons.
