Ten civilians were reportedly killed by Sudan’s paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) on Monday night in Al-Jazira, Sudan, according to pro-democracy activists.
The Madani Resistance Committee, part of a network coordinating humanitarian efforts, said the RSF conducted the attack in Barborab village, 85 kilometres northeast of Wad Madani, the state’s capital.
Al-Jazira has become a key battleground between the RSF and Sudan’s military, with violence in the state claiming around 200 lives over the past month, officials and medics report.
The UN’s Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UNOCHA) states that 135,000 people have been displaced to safer regions as the conflict escalates.
