GENEVA - The United Nations human rights office on Friday accused
Sudanese security forces of killing more than 100 people in
indiscriminate machinegun attacks on villages in South Darfur over a
three-month period.
In a report covering January-March, U.N. High Commissioner for Human
Rights Louise Arbour called on the government to carry out an independent
investigation into the attacks near Nyala, in which she said Border
Intelligence personnel had been involved.
"In all instances, witnesses described hundreds of heavily armed
attackers, many of who were identified as Border Intelligence personnel,"
the report said. "During all the incidents, attackers fired
indiscriminately from the outskirts of the settlements with heavy
machineguns and rocket propelled grenades, before entering the
settlements and shooting men."
