Sudanese activists said on
Monday that the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) killed
almost 300 people in attacks in North Kordofan state that began
on Saturday.
The RSF has been fighting the Sudanese army in that area,
one of the key frontlines of a civil war that has raged since
April 2023. The army has taken firm control of the center and
east of the country, while the RSF is working to consolidate its
control of western regions, including North Kordofan.
The Emergency Lawyers human rights group said in a statement
on Monday that the RSF had attacked several villages on Saturday
around the city of Bara, which the paramilitary controls. In one
village, Shag Alnom, more than 200 people were killed via arson
or gunshot. Looting raids of the other villages killed 38
civilians, they said, while dozens of others had gone missing.
The next day, the group said, the RSF attacked the village
of Hilat Hamid killing 46 people, including pregnant women and
children.
