Guardian: RSF Attack on Sudan’s Zamzam Camp in Darfur May Have Killed More Than 1,500 Civilians

HeadlineAug 07, 2025

In news from Sudan, an investigation by The Guardian has revealed the Rapid Support Forces, armed by the United Arab Emirates, massacred more than 1,500 civilians during an attack in April at Zamzam camp in northern Darfur, the country’s largest camp for displaced people. The final death toll may be even higher, with many bodies still remaining at the camp, which is now controlled by the RSF. Last month, the International Criminal Court said it had “reasonable grounds” to conclude that war crimes were unfolding in Darfur.
