Chairperson of African Union Commission, Moussa Faki Mahamat, has condemned the recent alleged massacre in a village in the central part of Sudan.
The massacre was reportedly carried out in Wad al Nourah, Gezira state, in Sudan on June 5, 2024. The paramilitary group fighting the Sudanese army, Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has been blamed for the massacre of the 150 villagers.

Mr. Mahamat bemoaned that “this horrific death toll is a grim reminder that in this senseless war, women and children bear the brunt of the wanton destruction perpetrated by the warring parties.”
