According to local rights groups, 40 people were killed Monday by raids by Sudan’s paramilitary Rapid Support Forces in a famine-stricken displacement camp outside of el-Fasher, the provincial seat of North Darfur.
The RSF, which is at war with the Sudanese military, assaulted areas of the camp, targeting residents inside their houses, according to a Facebook message from the Emergency Response Rooms organization operating at the Abu Shouk refugee camp. According to the community activist group that aids people all throughout Sudan, at least 19 others were hurt.
Throughout the conflict, there have been several attacks on the 450,000 displaced persons living in the Abu Shouk displacement camp west of el-Fasher. Despite regular RSF raids, el-Fasher is in the hands of the Sudanese military.
The scene reflected the extent of the horrific violations committed against innocent, defenseless people,” the Resistance Committees in el-Fasher said on Facebook after confirming the attacks. Human rights advocates are among the local residents that make up the Resistance Committees.
On Monday, the Yale University Humanitarian Research Lab shared satellite photos of 40 cars at the Abu Shouk Camp. The lab claimed that the cars were in the camp’s northwest districts, attempting to support accounts of the RSF strike. Yale HRL said in its report that it collected and examined images and video purportedly “demonstrating RSF shooting at people crawling away from them and berating and using ethnic slurs.
