6/6/2024: Bloomberg - At Least 100 Killed in Attack on Sudanese Village Amid Civil War, by Simon Marks

Bloomberg report that at least 100 people have been killed by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia as it opened fire on residents of Wad Al Noura village in Al-Jazira state after they tried to stop the RSF from entering the area, according to the Wad Madani Resistance Committee.

The Madani committee put the death toll at “as many as 100” people including women and children, and shared pictures and videos online showing dozens of bodies wrapped in white shawls.

However, two senior humanitarian officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said that more than 100 people had been killed.

The RSF claimed that it attacked “three camps” west, south and north of the Wad Al Noura area, where it said the army, intelligence services and Islamist groups were present.
