More than 1,000 killed in landslide that wiped out whole village in war-torn Sudan
- A landslide in Sudan's western Darfur region reportedly killed an estimated 1,000 people in Tarasin village, making it one of the country's deadliest recent natural disasters.
- The tragedy occurred on Sunday in Central Darfur's Marrah Mountains, following days of heavy rainfall in late August, as reported by the Sudan Liberation Movement-Army.
- The rebel group, which controls the area, stated that initial information indicated the death of all village residents, with only one survivor, and the village was "completely levelled."
- The Sudan Liberation Movement-Army has appealed to the United Nations and international aid groups for assistance in recovering bodies.
- The incident took place amidst Sudan's ongoing civil war, which has made much of the Darfur region, including the Marrah Mountains, largely inaccessible to the UN and aid organisations.
