UN alarmed at interethnic killings in Sudan's Darfur

The UN is calling for an investigation into reports of a second wave of ethnically-motivated killings in Sudan's Western Darfur region. The attacks, which targeted Masalit civilians, involved summary executions, burning victims alive, looting, torture, and sexual violence. The conflict in Sudan has already claimed over 10,400 lives and displaced millions of people. The UN is urging all parties involved to protect civilians and infrastructure and bring those responsible for the attacks to justice.
