Hundreds of patients and staff massacred at a hospital; unarmed men of fighting age separated and shot at close range; civilians trying to flee stripped of their belongings and extorted for ransom; perpetrators filming much of the violence themselves. The reports of atrocities that have emerged from the Sudanese city of El Fasher since it fell to the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces last weekend follow a familiar pattern.

The International Court of Justice ruled it lacked authority to proceed with Sudan's case against the UAE regarding alleged support of rebel forces in Darfur.

The international court of justice will rule on whether the United Arab Emirates can be found complicit in genocide by arming Sudan's Rapid Support Forces in the ongoing civil war.
