This is the best summary I could come up with:
Johannesburg — The United Nations confirmed late Thursday that 35 children were among those killed in one of the deadliest attacks to date in the civil war that has torn Sudan apart for more than a year.
Sudan’s army vowed a strong response against the rival Rapid Support Forces paramilitary group, which it accused of carrying out a “massacre of civilians.”
A recent report by Human Rights Watch claims an act of genocide may have been committed in the West Darfur city of El Geneina.
One report details an attack on June 15, 2023, that HRW says involved RSF and allied forces opening fire on a convoy of civilians fleeing El Geneina, allegedly killing 12 children and five adults from two families, before throwing their bodies “into the river and their belongings in after them.”
Former Sudanese President Omar el Bashir, who was ousted by the army in 2019, regularly exploited those conflicts, fanning the flames of ethnic violence for political gain.
In the most significant recent development, it seems almost certain that a deal is about to be signed between Moscow and al-Burhan’s government to secure Russia a 25-year Red Sea port, in exchange for military hardware.
