Sudan War: Hundreds may have been killed in the recent Darfur attacks

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.

Senior international officials in London will meet later to discuss the ongoing civil war in Sudan on the second anniversary of the beginning of the conflict.

UN spokeswoman, Ravenna Shamdasani, told the BBC that the verification process is still continuing and the death toll did not include 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.

The camps that surround the headmaster – Zamzam and Abu Shok – 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.”

Before the conference on Tuesday in London, UK Foreign Minister David Lami announced a package of £ 120 million in Sudan.

He said that Sudan’s stability “is vital to our national security.”

The United Kingdom will participate in hosting talks alongside the African Union and the European Union.
