Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces (RSF) conducted a violent attack on civilians in West Darfur, killing 1,300 people and injuring 2,000 others while 310 remain missing, Al Jazeera reported.
The latest atrocities are part of a wider campaign by the RSF and its allied militias to eradicate the non-Arab Masalit tribe from West Darfur, according to activists and survivors.
RSF has been targeting Masalit tribal leaders. According to a local human rights organisation, six tribal leaders and their families were killed during last week’s attack on the camp in Ardamata, West Darfur.
Since the start of Sudan’s civil war, the United Nations and Western governments have condemned the systematic killing and displacement of the Masalit from their land.
