The civilians are said to have been killed in the state of Al Jazirah south of the capital Khartoum. The violence in the state has increased recently.
At least 120 civilians were killed in the village of Al Hilaliya, according to the authorities. Sudan’s foreign minister refers to it as a massacre.
Some are said to have been killed with firearms, while others died as a result of food poisoning or a lack of medical help.
The siege of the village has been going on for two weeks, according to witnesses. After the militia sacked the village, they locked residents inside mosques, according to a medical organization in Sudan. They then demanded huge ransom sums to release them.
The RSF militia accuses Sudan’s army of having killed more than 60 civilians in an airstrike against a refugee camp in North Darfur. Several hundred are also said to be injured, according to a spokesperson from RSF.
A primary school that was used to house more than 35 displaced families has reportedly been destroyed in the city of Al-Kuma, the spokesperson on Telegram said.
The civil war in Sudan broke out in April last year. Tens of thousands have been killed, and over 14 million people have since been forced to flee.
The war is mainly between the RSF militia and Sudan’s army, which previously cooperated and which together seized power in the country and halted a democratization process.
Both the Sudanese army and the RSF are accused of widespread killings, torture and abuse of the civilian population.
