WASHINGTON (AP) — The United States, Britain and Norway on Friday condemned rising violence and human rights abuses that some claim amount to ethnic cleansing in Sudan’s western Darfur region.
They said they were particularly concerned by attacks on civilians by the RSF in west, central and south Darfur.

The attack was the latest in a series of atrocities in Darfur that have marked the monthslong war between the Sudanese military and the RSF.
The U.N. says the conflict has killed about 9,000 people, although doctors groups and local activists say the toll is far higher.
