The conflict in Sudan has displaced more than one million children, 270,000 of them in the Darfur region, the UN children's agency has said, warning more were at "grave risk".
"Children are trapped in an unrelenting nightmare, bearing the heaviest burden of a violent crisis they had no hand in creating -- caught in the crossfire, injured, abused, displaced and subjected to disease and malnutrition," said UNICEF Sudan representative Mandeep O'Brien. Daglo's RSF have their origins in the Janjaweed militias which former strongman Omar al-Bashir unleashed on ethnic minorities in the region in 2003, drawing charges of genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity.
"All those responsible for this killing must be held to account including those who bear command responsibility," Jeremy Laurence, spokesman for the UN rights office, told reporters in Geneva.The US State Department said the atrocities unfolding in West Darfur were "primarily" the work of the RSF and provided an "ominous reminder" of the region's previous genocide.
Miller said up to 1,100 civilians had been killed in the West Darfur state capital, El Geneina, alone. The International Organization for Migration says the fighting has driven 2.2 million people from their homes, including 528,000 who have fled to neighbouring countries.
