"Rampaging Militias Unleash Atrocities in Darfur Amid Sudan Conflict"

Sudan's Darfur region is experiencing a new wave of atrocities, including killings, rapes, and the burning of homes, as militias and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) engage in brutal attacks on civilians. More than 260,000 Sudanese, mostly women and children, have fled to neighboring Chad. The violence in Darfur bears a resemblance to the war crimes and crimes against humanity committed in the region since 2003. The RSF, formed from the notorious Janjaweed militias, has been accused of perpetrating mass killings and other atrocities. The United Nations and the International Criminal Court are investigating the alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity in Darfur.
