In a shocking development, a mass grave containing at least 87 bodies has been unearthed in Sudan’s West Darfur state. The discovery comes as a regional summit, hosted by Egypt to address the crisis in Sudan, is set to commence. The United Nations human rights office has identified the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) as the likely perpetrators of this heinous act.

The UN has reported that the mass grave includes the remains of Masalit people, indicating that the violence in the region is ethnically motivated. Sudan has been embroiled in a conflict since April 15, with clashes between the country’s army and the RSF. Rights groups have previously documented attacks by the RSF and Arab militias against the non-Arab Masalit community.
