JOHANNESBURG: The medical charity Doctors Without Borders, or MSF, has warned that the fate of hundreds of thousands fleeing ethnically targeted violence from Sudan’s western city of El-Fasher was unknown as satellite images showed suspected mass graves.
“Our main concern is that though we have seen approximately 5,000 people coming out of El-Fasher toward Tawila, we don’t know where the other hundreds of thousands have gone,” newly elected MSF president Javid Abdelmoneim said.
“That is worrying given the ethnic nature of targeting of violence toward civilians by the RSF,” he said in Johannesburg.
The town of Tawila is about 70 km to the west of El-Fasher, and communications remain largely cut off in the region.
I fear that the abominable atrocities such as summary executions, rape and ethnically motivated violence are continuing within the city.
