Thousands of people have been forced to flee the Sudanese region of West Dafur amid fears of ethnic cleansing, a medical charity says. Witnesses have accused the paramilitary group Rapid Support Forces (RSF) of targeting and killing non-Arabs. This comes after the RSF captured the Sudanese army headquarters in West Darfur’s capital of El Geneina in recent days.
The RSF said it is not involved in what it described as a “tribal conflict”. It has been battling the army for control of the country since April. Witnesses have accused the paramilitary group Rapid Support Forces (RSF) of targeting and killing non-Arabs.
