Thank you, Barney Ronay, for your article on the link between Manchester and the atrocities in Sudan (Silence over Sudan: why do Manchester City’s owners get away with so much? 8 November). As a Mancunian, I feel anger and shame at the complicity of our city’s commercial links with the United Arab Emirates, reported to be funding the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), which are committing war crimes in Darfur.
I work as a medicolegal report writer at Freedom from Torture and have borne witness to the awful impact of the Janjaweed militia (which has morphed into the RSF) on people from Darfur.
