How did #Sudan-ese people react to the RSF massacre in Wad Al-Noura?

To understand Sudanese public opinion, we covered the reaction of influential Twitter accounts.

Key takeaways:

• A growth of perceptions among Sudanese that the militia’s genocidal project is being exported from Darfur to other parts of Sudan.

• Views that the Taqadum coalition is allied to the RSF were reinforced as Taqadum supporters and officials were accused of legitimising the massacre by regurgitating RSF discourses.

• The Sudanese army leadership came under fire from strongly anti-RSF Twitter accounts for “abandoning” the massacre’s victims.

• Sudanese outrage at the AP, a major international news wire, for a headline that portrayed the victims as legitimate targets.
