PORT SUDAN, Sudan: Sudan´s paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) announced on Sunday that it had taken control of a famine-hit camp in the western Darfur region, after two days of heavy shelling and gunfire.
In a statement, the RSF said that it had deployed “military units to secure civilians and humanitarian medical workers in Zamzam ... after successfully liberating the camp entirely from the grip of” the army.
Zamzam -- home to over 500,000 refugees according to the United Nations -- and nearby refugee camps have suffered heavily throughout two years of war between the army and the RSF.
