Sudan: Killings in Ardamata

The base is just outside El Geneina, the capital of West Darfur. Many of those killed were young Masalit men and relatives of Sudanese soldiers remaining in Ardamata, after the troops fled the town. On 5 November alone, 66 Masalit men were summarily executed in three separate incidents. The Ardamata attack is the second reported mass attack by the RSF and its allied Arab militia against Masalit civilians in a matter of months. Between May and June 2023, hundreds of Masalit men, women, and children – including the governor of West Darfur – were killed.
