The group of rebels says at least 1000 in the landslide of Sudan

At least 1,000 people were killed in the remote Marra mountains in western Sudan, according to the rebel group, the Sudan Liberation Movement/Army.

The group said in a statement that the heavy rains caused the ground collapse on Sunday, which left only one survivor and “went” in a large part of the village of Tarasin.

The movement of humanitarian assistance from the United Nations and other regional and international organizations appealed to.

Many residents of the northern state of Darfur resorted to the Marra Mountains area, after the war between the Sudanese army and the RSF (RSF) that forced them from their homes.

The civil war that erupted in April 2023 between the Sudanese army and RSF fell on the country in famine and led to the accusations of genocide in the West Darfur region.

The estimates of the death toll from the civil war are very different, but a US official last year had valued up to 150,000 people who have been killed since hostilities began in 2023. About 12 million of their homes fled.

The Sudan Liberation/Army factions, which controlled the area where the landslide occurred, pledged to fight alongside the Sudanese army against RSF.

Many Darfuris believe that RSF and allied militias have launched a war aimed at converting ethnically mixed area into a field of Arab rule.
