Sudan’s notorious paramilitary forces attacked a group of people on a road in the country’s troubled Darfur region on Sunday, killing at least 13, mostly women and children, a medical group said.
The killings were the latest by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and came a day after the RSF shelled a hospital in the besieged city of el-Fasher in North Darfur.
The Sudan Doctors Network, a group of medical professionals tracking the Sudanese civil war, said five children, four women, and four older people were killed, claiming it was an ethnically motivated attack.
The killing was “another episode in the ongoing campaign of ethnic cleansing and genocide being perpetrated by the RSF against unarmed civilians in Darfur,” the doctors’ group said.
