"Deadly Violence Grips Sudan's Darfur Region, Leaving Hundreds Dead and Thousands Fleeing"

TL;DR
Sudan's Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have reportedly killed around 1,300 people, injured 2,000, and left 310 missing in a mass killing in Darfur. The RSF, along with allied militias, are accused of carrying out a campaign to eradicate the non-Arab Masalit tribe from the region. This is part of a history of ethnic cleansing in Darfur, where the central government has neglected non-Arab farmers and armed Arab tribal militias to crush rebellions. The RSF has been sanctioned by the US for its role in atrocities, but the killings and displacement continue.
