It was one of the most brutal chapters in Sudan's nearly three-year civil war and triggered widespread international outrage.There are now calls for international criminal investigations to ensure accountability for perpetrators and justice for victims, and an end to the arms flow feeding the conflict.The ongoing civil war has killed hundreds of thousands of people, and forced more than 13 million people from their homes. To get a sense of the civilian desperation, Bongiwe Zwane spoke to medical charity Médecins Sans Frontières or Doctors Without Borders' emergency coordinator in Darfur, Muriel Boursier

U.S. President Donald Trump LAST NIGHT moved swiftly to replace tariffs struck down by the Supreme Court with a temporary 10% global import duty for 150 days and ordered new investigations under other laws that could allow him to re-impose the tariffs. He lambasted the justices who rejected his trade policy as "fools". In a 6-3 decision, the court held that the president had overstepped his powers when he introduced global tariffs at the start of his presidency which included a 30 percent  tax on South African goods. The decision is seen as a major victory for businesses and US states that had challenged the duties, opening the door to potentially billions of dollars in tariff refunds. To discuss this development, Bongiwe Zwane spoke to international trade expert and communication and reputation management consultant, Tshepo Matseba
