An attack by Sudanese paramilitary forces on a stronghold of a Darfur tribal leader left at least 28 people dead, a doctors group said Tuesday, the latest in a devastating war with no resolution in sight.
The paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) on Monday rampaged through the town of Misteriha in North Darfur province, according to the Sudan Doctors Network, which tracks the country’s ongoing war.
The town is a stronghold of Arab tribal leader Musa Hilal who also hails from the Rizeigat Arab tribe as the majority of the members of the paramilitary RSF.
At least 39 people, including 10 women, were wounded in the attack, the medical group said.
The UN Security Council called for an immediate halt to the fighting on Tuesday, condemning the RSF’s continued assault and destabilization in the Kordofans region and its reported atrocities in North Darfur’s capital el-Fasher “including systematic killings, mass displacement, summary executions, arbitrary detentions and ethnically motivated targeting.” Council members called for all perpetrators to be held accountable.
