Attacks in Sudan’s Darfur kill at least 300 as grim anniversary passes: UN

At least 300 civilians have been killed in attacks by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) on refugee camps in Sudan’s Darfur over the weekend, according to the United Nations.

The assault on Friday and Saturday around the Zamzam and Abu Shouk displacement camps and the city of el-Fasher has also displaced about 400,000 people, the UN International Organization for Migration (IOM) said in a report released on Monday, quoting unverified “local sources”.

The numbers came as Sudan marked the grim second anniversary of its civil war, with reports of atrocities and famine mounting, in what has been described as the world’s worst humanitarian crisis.
