More than 480 civilians killed in Sudan’s North Darfur over two weeks: UN

More than 480 civilians have been killed in attacks in Sudan’s North Darfur region in two weeks this month, with some attacks ethnically motivated, according to the United Nations.

The UN human rights office said on Friday that it had listed at least 481 civilians killed in North Darfur since April 10 and that “the actual number is likely much higher”.

It also reported rampant sexual violence in the region, including against young boys and girls, calling the assaults “horrifying”.
