UN reports newly discovered mass grave in darfur

A mass grave containing the bodies of 87 people allegedly killed by Sudanese paramilitary and allied militia has been discovered in West Darfur, according to the United Nations. The grave, located just outside the city of Geneina, contained the bodies of members of the ethnic African Masalit tribe, including seven women and seven children. The conflict in Darfur has escalated into ethnic violence, with troops and militias targeting African ethnic groups. This revelation comes shortly after Human Rights Watch urged the International Criminal Court to investigate atrocities in the region.
