Anthony Blinken was explicitly calling the actions of the RSF and SAF in Sudan a genocide all the way back in January. Which people who’d actually been paying attention to the situation in Sudan before now (when it’s handy to use it Sudan as a rhetorical gotcha against Gaza protesters) would know.

Here is the Yale Daily News in January describing how the Yale Humanitarian Research Lab’s work contributed to Blinken’s determination of genocide in Sudan:

Here is language from the Yale HRL lab describing their analysis of the El Fasher massacre in Sudan from Oct 27th, which states *these specific events* “may rise to the level of genocide. This is *extremely normal* word-choice for an event that is very recent and is still being investigated.

You may read the recent reports from the Yale HRL Lab at this location. The most recent is from yesterday. Again, this is a still rapidly unfolding event in a very hard to access location. I see zero issues with how the word “genocide” is being used here. medicine.yale.edu/lab/khoshnoo...
