THE international community must act to prevent atrocities and protect civilians in Sudan’s Darfur region, a human rights charity said today.

The war between the Sudanese armed forces and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has spread across the country since breaking out in the capital Khartoum in April 2023.

Amnesty International said today that it had received reports of the burning of villages in northern Darfur, escalating air strikes, shelling of residential areas, including the Abu Shouk camp for internally displaced people and the blocking of aid deliveries by both parties to the conflict.
