The article contains several instances of appeals to authority and inflammatory rhetoric, but no formal or dichotomous fallacies are present. The authors quote various humanitarian organizations and UN officials to establish the severity of the situation in Sudan. This is a valid use of an appeal to authority as these organizations have expertise in humanitarian crises and their statements provide evidence for the dire conditions in Sudan. The inflammatory rhetoric, such as 'neglected by the rest of the world' or 'mass famine', while emotionally charged, do not distort logical reasoning or misrepresent facts.
