In the early 2000s, some 300,000 people were killed in Darfur when "Janjaweed" militias - from which the RSF formed - helped the army crush a rebellion by mainly non-Arab groups. Sudanese leaders are wanted by the ICC for genocide and crimes against humanity.
"The international community has failed to hold those responsible for previous crimes to account. So, these guys think they can do it again. We’ve failed to secure justice for the people of Darfur. And that needs to change immediately," Thomas-Greenfield said on Thursday. The conflict has caused widespread clashes, looting and shortages of food and medicine in Khartoum and other cities, driving more than 5 million people from their homes.
"If we're not outraged by what we're seeing here, where's our humanity?" ICC Prosecutor Karim Khan asked at Thursday's event. U.N. aid chief Martin Griffiths said at a separate meeting on Sudan on Wednesday that 5,000 people have been killed, 12,000 injured and more than 6 million face acute food shortages.
