Landslide Kills Over 1,000 in Darfur Mountains Where Many Sought Refuge from Civil War

HeadlineSep 02, 2025

A landslide in Sudan’s Darfur region killed more than 1,000 people on Sunday. That’s according to the Sudan Liberation Movement, an armed rebel group that controls the region. The landslide destroyed a village in the Marra Mountains, where residents had sought refuge to escape fighting between the Sudanese army and the rival paramilitary faction, the Rapid Support Forces. The Darfur region is largely inaccessible to international aid groups due to the civil war, which is now in its third year.
