Earth landslide in Sudan

Johannesburg – At least 1,000 people were killed on Sunday when a landslide swallowed an entire village in the Darfur region devastated by the Sudan War after days of heavy rains, said the rebels that celebrate the region on Tuesday.

“The initial information indicates the death of all the residents of the village, which is estimated in more than a thousand people, with only one survivor,” said the Sudan Liberation Movement, which controls the area, in a statement. He appealed to the International Aid Community for those who are in the Tenada de Tarasin village.

The mountainous area is extremely difficult to achieve, and has become a shelter for people fleeing the violence of the civil war that has surrounded to parts of Sudan, including Darfur, and thousands have arrived on foot in recent months.

Tarasin, in an area known by citrus agriculture, had seen days of heavy rains, which finally led to landslide, which was one of the most mortal natural disasters to hit Sudan in recent history. But the Sudanese people have had no shortage of suffering by man.

Fears the civil war of Sudan prepared to get worse

The Civil War of Sudan is now entering its third year. It has been largely fought between the Sudanese armed forces and a rival paramilitary group, the rapid support forces. It is believed that tens of thousands of people were killed from the The fight broke out more than two years agoboth violence directly and hunger and disease.

The war has left more than half of the population of Sudan that faces the levels of crisis hunger, in which the help groups have labeled the largest humanitarian crisis in the world.

The SLM, which announced the landslide, controls Tarasin and some other parts of the mountainous area in western Darfur, but the group has remained largely outside the fighting.

The RSF controls most of the Darfur region, except the El-Fafasher state capital, which its forces have been surrounded for more than 500 days. In recent days they have launched a new offensive, seeking to capture the last important city in Darfur that is no longer under its control.

Hundreds of thousands of people are now trapped within the city behind the land walls newly built by the RSF forces, facing the threat of execution if they try to leave. The sources on the ground say that there is little food in El-Fafasher, so local residents starve slowly while the artillery flies over their heads daily.

Sudan Doctor Network medical group said Tuesday that El-Fafasher’s bombing had killed 18 people and wounded more than 100 others, including women and children. The group said in a publication on social networks that it was having in “the international community, the United Nations and the African union totally responsible for their dishonor silence and failure to protect more than half a million civilians trapped within the fade, which are being subjected daily to bombings, hunger and slow death.”

The Humanitarian Research Laboratory of the University of Yale has analyzed satellite photos of El-Fasher that, according to him, shows that the RSF moves rapidly to build berms of the city.

“The RSF is creating a literal killing box around El-Fasher,” the group warned in a report published last week. More than 19 miles of land walls have been built since May 9, the group said in a statement provided together with satellite images on August 27. “These berms will create physical limits to avoid smuggling products such as food and medicines in El-Fafas or people from El-Fafasher.”

The United Nations Children’s Agency, UNICEF, in a statement last week, estimated that 260,000 people, including 130,000 children, remain trapped in “desperate aid conditions for more than 16 months.”

International humanitarian organizations have been avoided to reach El-Fafasher by the RSF, and UNICEF has warned that, without new supplies, acute malnutrition is spreading. The agency has cited recent reports that for a week alone, 63 people, mainly women and children, died of malnutrition in the blocked city.

Before El-Fafasher was surrounded, UNICEF said he was treating some 6,000 children for severe acute malnutrition in health facilities in the city. These children have now suspended their therapeutic food and medical care.

“We are witnessing a devastating tragedy: the children in El-Fafas are starving while the nutrition services of UNICEF’s life are being blocked,” said group executive director, Catherine Russell, in a statement at the end of August. “Blocking humanitarian access is a serious violation of children’s rights, and children’s lives hang in balance.”
