Strikes on Darfur market in Sudan killed more than 100, rights group says

Military drone strikes in southwestern Sudan's Darfur that killed more than 100 people - mostly women and children - earlier this week targeted a busy city market frequented by paramilitary fighters, witnesses said. Emergency Lawyers, a rights group tracking violence, put the toll from Monday's attacks at more than 100 dead and 113 wounded. The war between the RSF and the army, now in its fourth year, has created severe poverty, food shortages and the world's worst displacement crisis. A cigarette vendor told the Associated Press news agency on Wednesday that hundreds of RSF fighters gathered at the market on the evening of the attack. He said that he moved his stall between gatherings of the paramilitary fighters to sell cigarettes and that a drone struck around 8pm (18:00 GMT), killing dozens of fighters and women selling food.
