Strikes on Darfur market in Sudan kill more than 100, rights group says

Military drone strikes in southwestern Sudan’s Darfur that killed more than 100 people – mostly women and children – earlier this week targeted a busy city market frequented by paramilitary fighters, witnesses said. Emergency Lawyers, a rights group tracking violence, put the toll from Monday’s attacks at more than 100 dead and 113 wounded. While Emergency Lawyers reported that most of the victims were women and children, witnesses said on Wednesday that multiple civilian vendors who sold goods to paramilitary fighters were among those killed in the attack in Nyala, the South Darfur city that serves as the de facto capital of Sudan’s paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
