Amnesty urges war crimes probe into Sudan refugee camp attack

Rights group Amnesty International said Wednesday that a large-scale attack by Sudan's paramilitary Rapid Support Forces on a refugee camp earlier this year "must be investigated for war crimes".

The RSF, fighting Sudan's army since April 2023, "deliberately killed civilians, took hostages, pillaged and destroyed mosques, schools and health clinics" during its April attack on Zamzam, the largest refugee camp in North Darfur, Amnesty said.
