'Have nations abandoned their responsibility to protect civilians?'
Yes.

How about learning some history please. Atrocities committed by Arab tribes from the region around northwestern Sudan, Chad and southern Libya against the black African residents of Darfur predate the formation of PMC Wagner by decades. It is driven by competition for land. The Africans are mostly settled farmers while the Arabs are migratory herders. The conflict occurs when the herders invade / trample farms, their livestock eating the crops. The Arabs have a history of ruthlessly butchering the farmers to drive them off their land.

I believe racism is another big driver. The Arabs have been enslaving black Africans for around 1,400 years and they're still doing it today. The British stopped it in Sudan in 1924 but it came back after the British left.

It's a Wagner/Russian interfered country now and exactly how welcome would a UN peacekeeping force be?
