Sudan aid groups say 54 killed in an airstrike blamed on the miliary in Darfur

Hindustan Times  

CAIRO — Aid groups in Sudan said on Tuesday at least 54 people were killed in a military airstrike on a local market in the country’s western region. Sudan aid groups say 54 killed in an airstrike blamed on the miliary in Darfur The strike on Monday on the village of Tora caused a huge fire, according to Adam Rejal, a spokesman for the General Coordination, a local group helping displaced people in Darfur. Gen. Nabil Abdullah, a spokesman for the Sudanese military, said civilians had not been targeted, adding the allegations were “incorrect" and "are raised whenever our forces exercise their constitutional and legal right to deal with hostile targets.” The strike tore apart a large part of the weekly market in Tora, which is located 80 kilometers north of el-Fasher, the capital city of North Darfur province. Rejal said that the strike was “a crime against humanity and a clear violation of all international and humanitarian laws and conventions.” The city of el-Fasher is held by the Sudanese military despite near-daily strikes by the powerful rival paramilitary group, the Rapid Support Forces, or RSF.
