At least 114 people were killed over the past week in Sudan's western Darfur region in attacks carried out by Sudan’s army and rival paramilitary forces, medical sources told AFP on Sunday.
Since April 2023, Sudan has been gripped by a war between the army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), which in October seized the army's last holdout position in Darfur.
The RSF has since pushed west to the Chadian border and east through the vast Kordofan region, where a drone strike on the North Kordofan capital of el-Obeid on Sunday caused a blackout in the key army-controlled city.
A medical source reported Sunday that 51 people were killed the day before in drone strikes attributed to the army on the North Darfur town of Al-Zuruq, 180 kilometers (112 miles) north of the RSF-overrun state capital el-Fasher.
The strike hit a market and civilian areas, the source said.
