‘Corpses on streets’: Sudan’s RSF kills 1,300 in Darfur, monitors say

The mass killing might be the largest in the civil war that erupted in April, based on reports from monitors.

Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces (RSF) besieged a camp for displaced people on November 2 after attacking a nearby army base in West Darfur.

Local monitors told Al Jazeera that about 1,300 people were killed, 2,000 injured and 310 remain missing.

But the criticism and concern have not deterred the RSF from carrying out more atrocities.

For decades, Sudan’s central government neglected non-Arab farmers and Arab pastoralists in Darfur, pushing them to compete for fertile land and dwindling water resources.

These same militias are now fighting alongside or under the banner of the RSF.

Local monitors said the RSF also subjected some women to sexual violence after killing the men in their families. »
