Drone strikes kill 67 in Sudan's Kordofan, says rights group

KHARTOUM, June 1 (AFP): Nearly 70 people were killed in Sudan's Kordofan region in two recent drone attacks, a rights group and a local leader reported on Sunday.

The Emergency Lawyers, a group that documents abuses in Sudan's long-running war, said that 10 people -- eight children and two women -- were killed in a drone strike the day before in the village of Kadam in West Kordofan state.

It said "the victims had fled from the Abu Kershola area in South Kordofan to Kadam in search of safety before being targeted at their displacement site" in West Kordofan, which is under the control of the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
