New wave of mass killings in Sudan alarms UN
A senior UN official in Sudan says she is deeply troubled by reports of "atrocious crimes" in the central Gezira state, including the mass killing of civilians by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
Clementine Nkweta-Salami's comments came after an activist group said that at least 124 people were killed by the RSF in attacks on villages over the past week.
...
Gezira state turned into a major battleground last week after the RSF suffered a major blow when one of its commanders, Abu Aqla Kayka, defected to the military.
...
In response, the RSF said its fighters would defend themselves and "decisively deal with everyone carrying arms".
