RSF Attacks Escalate: An Archyde Interview with Dr. Fatima Hassan on the Sudan Crisis
June 17, 2025
In the wake of reports detailing the escalating violence in Sudan, specifically the devastating attacks by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) on refugee camps, Archyde News reached out to Dr. Fatima Hassan,a leading humanitarian expert and Senior Researcher at the International Crisis Group. We discussed the recent surge in violence, its impact on vulnerable populations, and potential pathways to a peaceful resolution.
The Humanitarian Crisis in Sudan: A Conversation with Dr. Hassan
Archyde: Dr. Hassan, thank you for joining us. The situation in Sudan is dire. Can you provide an overview of the current state of the conflict and its direct impact on refugee populations?
Dr. Hassan: Thank you for having me. The situation is catastrophic. The RSFS attacks on refugee camps have resulted in hundreds of deaths, displacement, and a complete breakdown of essential services. These camps, already strained, are now scenes of unimaginable suffering. the intentional targeting of civilians and the obstruction of humanitarian aid are especially alarming.
Examining the RSF’s Tactics and the International Response
Archyde: what specific tactics is the RSF employing, and what challenges does this pose for aid organizations attempting to deliver assistance?
Dr. Hassan: The RSF is utilizing brutal tactics, including indiscriminate shelling, targeted killings, and sexual violence. They are also deliberately hindering aid deliveries by blocking access to camps and attacking humanitarian convoys. This makes it incredibly challenging for organizations to provide food, water, medical supplies, and shelter to those in need.
Archyde: The international community has expressed concern. How effective has the response been so far, and what more can be done?
Dr. Hassan: The international response has been largely inadequate. While condemnations are significant, we need concrete action.This includes increased funding for humanitarian aid, robust diplomatic pressure on all parties to the conflict, and the establishment of safe corridors for aid delivery. We also need to explore avenues for accountability for war crimes and crimes against humanity. Sanctions targeting those responsible for the violence are crucial.
Looking Ahead: Potential Pathways to Peace
Archyde: What are some of the immediate and long-term implications of the ongoing conflict?
Dr. Hassan: The immediate implications are devastating – loss of life, displacement, and widespread suffering. Long-term, we risk a protracted humanitarian crisis, regional instability, and the erosion of social cohesion.The conflict could also fuel further displacement, leading to a refugee crisis that puts strain on neighboring countries. The destruction of infrastructure and essential services undermines the future prospects for the Sudanese people.
Archyde: What, in your view, is the most critical step towards achieving a lasting peace in Sudan?
Dr. Hassan: The most critical step is a genuine commitment to cease hostilities and to negotiate a sustainable peace agreement. This requires the involvement of all key stakeholders, including civil society organizations, customary leaders, and representatives of the affected communities. It necessitates a commitment to justice and accountability for the atrocities committed. The international community must play a more proactive role in facilitating dialog and mediation.
