RSF kills 11 displaced people in West Darfur camp
On Saturday the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), the paramilitary fighting Sudan's army, attacked the Hajar Sana displacement camp near El Geneina, killing 11 displaced persons. The Darfur Regional Government’s Ministry of Social Welfare said the RSF carried out the attack.
Why it matters: It shows the continued danger for displaced families and hampers aid delivery in West Darfur.
Yes, but: The RSF has not confirmed the attack and offers a different account.
