The Sudanese paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have been accused of killing nearly 300 people in village raids in North Kordofan state, Sudan. The attacks, which began on Saturday, targeted several villages around the city of Bara, resulting in significant civilian casualties and displacement. The Emergency Lawyers human rights group condemned the attacks, stating that the targeted villages were 'empty of military objectives,' and placed responsibility with the RSF leadership. The violence is part of a larger civil war in Sudan that has raged since April 2023, creating a humanitarian crisis with widespread hunger, disease, and displacement.
