"The U.S. is among those accusing the RSF of ethnic cleansing, and also accuses Sudan's military of war crimes. In a statement last December, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said: "Since the outbreak of fighting on April 15, the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have unleashed horrific violence, death, and destruction across Sudan. Civilians have borne the brunt of this needless conflict.""

It's in the OP, as well as at the link. What would protests be saying - "we don't like our government condemning this"?
