The Spin

Narrative A

The Rapid Support Forces have devastated Sudan through widespread atrocities—burning bodies in containers, torturing civilians in makeshift detention centers, and preventing proper burial of the dead. Their systematic violence has created an "irrevocable anger" among Sudanese citizens, making reconciliation impossible and transforming the conflict into a "Dignity War" against an unforgivable destructive force.

Narrative B

The Sudanese Armed Forces, far from innocent, have systematically undermined democracy while enabling violence against civilians. They've targeted activists, manipulated the economy, and aligned with militias that execute villagers indiscriminately. Despite condemning such atrocities as "individual transgressions," SAF leaders praise commanders responsible for attacks on communities perceived as rivals.
