UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Thursday condemned a paramilitary attack on a village in Sudan that reportedly left more than 100 people dead.

The Rapid Support Forces (RSF), which have been at war with the regular army since April 2023, attacked the central village of Wad al-Noura in al-Jazira state with heavy artillery on Wednesday, the pro-democracy group Madani Resistance Committee said.

The death toll was put at “more than 104”.

“The Secretary-General condemns in the strongest possible terms the attack reportedly carried out by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) on 5 June in the village of Wad Al-Noura, Jazira State, in which over 100 people were reportedly killed,” his spokesman Stephane Dujarric said in a statement, calling on all warring parties in Sudan to refrain from attacks that harm civilians.

Sudan is suffering a war between the army of General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and the paramilitary RSF forces under his former deputy, General Mohamed Hamdan Daglo.

“The Secretary-General expresses his deep concern at the immense suffering of the Sudanese people as a result of the ongoing hostilities,” Dujarric said.

“He stressed that it is high time for all parties to silence their weapons throughout Sudan and embark on a path to sustainable peace for the Sudanese people,” the spokesman added.
