Erneut Massaker in Darfur

In Darfur soll es  zu einem neuen Massaker der Rapid Support Forces an Zivilisten gekommen sein:

Around 1,300 people, mostly civilians belonging to the Massalit tribe, were slaughtered in Sudan's West Darfur over three days earlier this month by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and its allied Arab militias, witnesses, local activists and human rights defenders have told Middle East Eye.

The massacres in Ardamata, an area on the northeast outskirts of West Darfur's state capital el-Geneina, were committed after the RSF, a paramilitary force, expelled Sudanese soldiers from a military base in the suburb during battles from 2 to 6 November.

For the second time in a matter of months, the streets of el-Geneina and its surroundings have been left filled with corpses.

Witnesses said the scenes were reminiscent of June, when Arab militias and RSF fighters killed more than 500 people in what human rights organisations described as ethnic cleansing against the Massalit, a Black African tribe.

The Roots Organization for Human Rights and Violation Monitoring, a local NGO, has recorded 1,300 people killed in Ardamata since 4 November, when the RSF seized the garrison belonging to the Sudanese army's 15th Infantry Division and then turned on the local civilian population.
