The landslide leveled a village in the remote Marra mountains, the Sudan Liberation Movement/Army said. It asked international aid organizations for help in recovering bodies.

At least 1,000 were killed in a landslide that destroyed a village in the Marra Mountains area of western Sudan, leaving only one survivor.

The landslide on 31 August happened days of continuous rain and "levelled" a remote mountains village, a rebel group says.
