A new wave of violence has erupted in Sudan’s North Kordofan state, with activists reporting that almost 300 people have been killed in attacks that began over the weekend.
A Sudanese human rights group, say the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) launched coordinated assaults on villages surrounding the city of Bara, which is currently under RSF control.
More than 200 people were reportedly killed, either shot or burned to death in arson attacks.
Looting raids in neighboring villages claimed another 38 civilian lives, according to the group, while dozens more remain missing.
