Yes, indeed. I have never visited Sudan myself but I have relatives who have. The largest diaspora Sudanese community is found in KSA. Sudanese Arabic is close to Hejazi Arabic as well. A lot of people to people relations since ancient times. Impossible to not know a Sudanese person when living or growing up in KSA. See post 19.
Not aware of Greece-Sudan ties but interesting to have that perspective but as you have said a few times, Greek-Arab ties have historically (modern era) overall been close and historically even more so, as we also talked about before.
You do realize that the SAF is even more Sudanese Arab ethnically than RSF? Or the fact that the vast majority of most Sudanese Arabs are themselves Afro-Arabs naturally?
Not to mention that the various non-Arab ethnic groups in Darfur are all Arabized and use Arabic as a lingua franca to communicate with each other.
Outside of some radical elements of RSF, this has very little to do with race.
Race was a much bigger topic during earlier civil wars which led to the South/North divide.
Sudan and much of Africa is very tribal and animosity can simply not just be boiled down to skin color which is a very superficial, simplistic and wrong way to look at it.
I don't expect non-Arabs to know much about Sudan but it is what it is.
Nor is there any coordinated attempt even by RSF radicals to exterminate/genocide non-Arab speaking communities in Darfur. If that was the case far more than just 2500 civilians would have died recently in al-Fashir when the RSF control almost all of Darfur.
French News Agency "AFP":
Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Egypt, and the United States present a proposal that calls for imposing a ceasefire throughout Sudan for three months, with efforts to be made to bring the conflicting parties together in Jeddah for talks aimed at reaching a permanent peace agreement
