Sudanese rights organizations say atrocities are being committed in Darfur and CNN has uncovered evidence that the Russian mercenary group Wagner is complicit, continuing to support Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces (RSF) paramilitary throughout the months of fighting despite calls by the U.S and others for support to cease. In an exclusive investigation, CNN uncovered the Russian supply lines prolonging the conflict between the RSF and Sudan's armed forces that has displaced around two-million people since mid-April and pushed the country further into a humanitarian crisis. The RSF denies links to Wagner and any involvement in mass rape. As part of this investigation, CNN verified and corroborated incidents of rape perpetrated by the RSF, including one which was captured on video. We warn you the content is graphic and disturbing. CNN’s Nima Elbagir has the story. And, in 2000 and 2016, some Democrats feared Green Party candidates took enough votes from the Democratic nominees to swing the election. Could it happen in 2024? Dr. Cornel West announced he’s now running for the Green Party nomination. He joined the program to talk about his run.
