More than 400 killed by rebel group in Sudan says UN happymamay

More than 400 people have been killed in the recent attacks by the RSF Rapid Forces (RSF) in the Sudanese region of Darfur, says the United Nations “reliable sources”.

Last week, RSF launched an intense and air attack on the refugee camps surrounding the city of Al -Fashir in an attempt to seize the last capital of the state in Darfur, which were held by their opponent, the Sudanese army.

The two warring sides have been imprisoned in a bloody conflict since April 2023. This has created the largest humanitarian crisis in the world and forced millions to flee their homes.

The United Nations said it was achieving 148 killings between Thursday and Saturday, but warned that the outcome was much higher.

UN spokeswoman Ravenna Shamdasani told the BBC that the verification process is still continuing and did not include the number of violence on Sunday.

“Reliable sources reported more than 400 people,” said Ms. Shamdasani.

The United Nations said at least nine humanitarian relief workers were among those who were killed.

Refugee camps surrounding the headquarters – Zamzam and Abu Shock – provide temporary homes for more than 700,000 people, and many of them face famine -like conditions.

In a statement issued on Saturday, RSF said he was not responsible for civilian attacks and that the scenes of murder in Zamzam had been distorted.

The next day, the group said it had completed a “successful liberation” of the camp from the Sudan Army. RSF accused the army of using Zamzam as “military barracks, and innocent civilians as human shields.”

Chen is the last major city in Darfur under the control of the army and was under siege by RSF for a year. The brutal civil war for Sudan will enter its third year on Tuesday.

United Nations Human Rights President Volcker Turk called on all parties concerned to “renew their intention to take meaningful steps towards resolving conflict.”
