Sudan’s paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) killed 56 civilians in a series of attacks on a town in Darfur along the road to the city of el-Fasher.

Activists from a local resistance committee said the killings in Um Kadadah were carried out on Thursday and Friday “on an ethnic basis”.

Um Kadadah, which lies around 180km east of el-Fasher - the last city in Darfur held by the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) - was recaptured by the RSF on Thursday.

The RSF has been at war with the SAF since April 2023 in a conflict that has displaced more than 10 million people and left over 12 million facing high levels of acute food insecurity.
