Red Sea State, Sudan: Sudanese paramilitary forces have killed at least 28 people in an attack on a village south of the capital Khartoum, a local doctors' committee said on Sunday.
The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) carried out a "massacre" in "the village of Um Adam" 150 kilometres (93 miles) south of the city on Saturday, the Sudan Doctors Committee said in a statement.
Sudan's war between the military, under army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, and the RSF, commanded by his former deputy Mohamed Hamdan Daglo, began last April 15.
Many thousands of people have been killed, including up to 15,000 in a single town in the war-ravaged Darfur region, according to United Nations experts.
The war has also displaced more than 8.5 million people, practically destroyed Sudan's already fragile infrastructure and pushed the country to the brink of famine.
