A notorious paramilitary group ambushed a village in south-central Sudan, looting and burning several houses, a medical group said Wednesday. At least seven people, including two children, were killed, it said.
Tuesday’s attack by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) on the village of al-Ghabshan al-Maramrah, an agricultural community in North Kordofan province, also wounded 13 others, said the Sudan Doctors Network, a group of medical professionals tracking the Sudanese civil war.
The group said RSF fighters looted properties, burned several houses as well as the village’s sole health care center, and “stole the medical supplies stored there.”
The fighting has turned into a full-fledged civil war that killed tens of thousands of people, displaced people out of their homes and pushed parts of the country into famine.
The devastating conflict has been marked by atrocities including mass killings and rape, which the International Criminal Court is investigating as war crimes and crimes against humanity.
