I notice that racism in Sudan takes several forms, but it is important to understand that all forms of discrimination are directly connected to the struggle for power or the structural makeup of authority.
Some may imagine that racism is limited only to skin color—black or white—but it is surprising that in a country where most of the population is Black, there exists deadly racism based on skin tone. The Massalit massacre, which claimed the lives of nearly 20,000 people from this African indigenous community about a year ago, marked a critical turning point in exposing the true aim of this war: replacing and dismantling independent social components with groups subordinated to foreign powers pushing long-term agendas of control over land and resources.
The Janjaweed, who identify with Arabism and practice nomadic warfare tactics including ethnic cleansing, could not have executed such acts without external backing that aligns them with foreign interests.
Today, racism serves as a fundamental tool to boost the morale of soldiers in both the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and the army.
The Janjaweed, through their leaders, now openly attack specific tribal groups and clearly express their desire to exterminate entire communities.
This is met with a reciprocal desire for extermination from those communities, creating a massive social rupture.
Over time, and with continued support, this rift will inevitably lead to a devastating civil war that could claim millions of lives.
In this context, anarchist struggle focuses on influencing these social groups, reshaping their way of thinking, applying pressure to sensitive individuals, and raising awareness about the dangerous agenda of the regime—an agenda that leads only to ruin.
No one wins a losing battle. The goal must be to build conscious networks and alliances that resist the project of social disintegration and civil war, and to redirect this public outrage toward the regime itself in order to create an effective movement that halts the ongoing bloodshed.
