The Central Committee of Sudanese Doctors said that it wasn’t possible to determine a death toll for Monday, but that at least 10 people had been killed. Analysts and activists said some armed groups that were not included in a 2020 peace deal may have become more aggressive in response. It escalated on Friday with an attack on the town of Kreinik, near El Geneina, by “Janjaweed” militias that killed at least nine people, according to the Coordinating Committee for Refugees and Displaced People.

At least 20000 people were displaced as their homes were burned down, said the Darfur Bar Association on Sunday.
