A France 24 report on Nov. 4 described hostility toward thousands of Sudanese Arab refugees who fled to Chad, pointing to tensions within a refugee population shaped by Sudan's fighting.
France 24 said much of the Rapid Support Forces' membership comes from Sudan's Arab communities. The broadcaster also reported that fighters linked to the force have been accused of targeting civilians from other ethnic groups on repeated occasions.
An earlier EconoTimes report on Sudanese refugees in Chad said the number of refugees from Sudan in the country reached the hundreds of thousands.
