Scores Found In Sudan Mass Grave, UN Says

The bodies of at least 87 people allegedly killed by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in Sudan have been found in a mass grave, according to the UN. The organisation said Masalit people were among those buried in a shallow grave just outside El-Geneina, reports the BBC.

Fierce fighting between the RSF and Sudan’s armed forces has been continuing since April. But the RSF and their allied militias have denied any involvement in the recent fighting in West Darfur.

Thousands have died and millions have been forced from their homes as a result of fighting between Sudan’s regular army, led by Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, and the RSF, led by al-Burhan’s former deputy, Mohammed Hamdan Daglo.

The UN said at least 37 bodies were buried in the West Darfur region on 20 June, and another 50 at the same site the next day. Among those buried were women and children.
