The warring parties were urged “to silence the guns and unite in facilitating the swift and effective delivery of emergency humanitarian assistance to those in need” by Mahmoud Ali Youssouf, the head of the African Union Commission.

Images depict two valleys that meet at a lower level, where the settlement of Tarseen formerly stood, on the side of a mountain. In the western Darfur area, the civil war between the RSF and the Sudanese army that began in April 2023 has sparked charges of genocide and sent the nation into hunger.

Although there are many different estimates of the number of persons murdered in the civil war, a US official this year put the death toll as high as 150,000 since fighting started in 2023. Twelve million people have left their homes.

The Sudanese military has promised to fight alongside the RSF, according to factions of the Sudan Liberation Movement/Army, which is in control of the region where the landslide took place. Many Darfuris think that the RSF and its affiliated militias have fought a war to turn the ethnically diverse area into an area dominated by Arabs.
