US EditionSudan landslide kills more than 1,000 people after wiping out village in Darfur
- On August 31, a landslide devastated a settlement in the western Sudanese Marra Mountains region, resulting in at least 1,000 fatalities and leaving just one person alive.
- The landslide occurred after several days of heavy rain and took place during an ongoing two-year conflict in North Darfur state between government forces and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces.
- Residents displaced by the ongoing conflict have taken refuge in the Marra Mountains, while the war has forced millions to flee and left Al-Fashir, the capital of North Darfur, under attack.
- The Sudan Liberation Movement and Army, led by Abdelwahid Mohamed Nour, reported that the village was completely destroyed and called on international organizations and aid groups to assist in retrieving the bodies of the victims.
- The disaster highlights the compounded humanitarian crisis caused by the civil war, as more than half the population faces crisis hunger and shortages of food and medicine persist in the area.
