Tijani Karshoum

Tijani Karshoum is the governor of West Darfur, Sudan, who has faced scrutiny and sanctions from the European Union for alleged involvement in serious human rights abuses during the ongoing conflict. His governance has been marked by accusations of ethnic cleansing and violence against non-Arab communities, particularly in the context of the RSF's actions in the region. Karshoum has publicly denied these allegations and called for independent investigations into the claims against him, positioning himself as a neutral figure amid a deeply polarized and violent political landscape.
