Sudanese medical group accuses rebel group of killing 27 people
The doctors group said the attacks displaced many residents and warned that targeting civilians on ethnic grounds violates international humanitarian law.
- On Tuesday, the Sudan Doctors Network accused the rebel SPLM-N of killing 27 people, including four children, in South Kordofan's Qardud and Abu Hamama areas.
- Earlier this year, intense fighting erupted between forces linked to the SPLM-N and the Otoro tribe in the Nuba Mountains, a standoff instigated by land disputes.
- Attacks in Qardud and Abu Hamama forced a large wave of displacement toward Abu Hitan and Kadugli, the largest town in South Kordofan, according to the medical group.
- Targeting unarmed civilians on ethnic grounds constitutes a 'clear violation of international humanitarian law,' the group added, urging international pressure on SPLM-N leadership to halt attacks.
- Continued violations threaten to turn the conflict in South Kordofan into a broader ethnic conflict, compounding Sudan's ongoing civil war, which has killed at least 59,000 people.
