In 2014, Sudanese soldiers raped over 220 women and girls in the Darfur village of Tabit, an hour's drive from UN peacekeepers. The largest peacekeeping mission in UN history, costing over $1.5 billion a year, said it had found no evidence. Soon after it left, Darfur faced its second genocide in twenty years.
In June 2025, Donald Trump hailed a peace deal between Congo and Rwanda, but the M23 rebels never signed it and kept fighting. His Gaza plan was approved without the Palestinians, and the truce between Thailand and Cambodia collapsed by December. What do these failures mean for a peace deal in Ukraine?
In October 2025, the Rapid Support Forces stormed El Fasher, the last major city in Darfur still held by Sudan's army. Most of those killed were Masalit, Fur and other African peoples, and the UN has warned of signs of genocide. The UN Security Council has yet to adopt a single resolution condemning it.
