Sudan Heads Towards Civil War

Sudan is on the brink of a “full-scale civil war” that could destabilize the entire region, after an airstrike on a residential area killed about two dozen civilians, The Guardian reports.

“After nearly three months of war between Sudan’s rival generals, the airstrike is the latest incident to provoke outrage. At least 3,000 people have been killed and 6,000 wounded in the conflict, survivors have reported a wave of sexual violence and witnesses have spoken of ethnically targeted killings. There has been widespread looting, and the UN warned of possible crimes against humanity in the Darfur region.”
