Well, uh, I think after three years we've definitely seen a, a major improvement on one particular side, and that is the Sudanese Armed Forces.
Elbashir IdrisGUEST
Though both sides throughout this war have been condemned for human rights violations and war crimes, we have certainly seen from one side a lot more control and willingness, uh, to exercise, uh, caution and restraint than the other, that being the rapid support forces.
