Port Sudan: The International Criminal Court warned on Monday that atrocities committed in Sudan's El-Fasher could amount to crimes against humanity and war crimes, as the UN said that thousands had fled a neighbouring region where paramilitaries have turned their focus.
According to United Nations figures, more than 36,000 civilians have fled towns and villages in the Kordofan region between October 26 and last Friday, while the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces warned it was amassing along a new front line.
Kordofan is a strategic area linking the vast western region of Darfur with Khartoum, the capital.
The widening of the war comes just over a week after the RSF took control of El-Fasher -- the army's last stronghold in Darfur -- where reports of mass killings, sexual violence, looting and abductions have emerged in the aftermath.
The RSF has set up a rival administration in Darfur to the pro-army government operating out of the Red Sea city of Port Sudan.
