Sudan landslide kills more than 1,000 people after wiping out village in Darfur

A massive landslide destroyed the village of Tarasin in Sudan’s Central Darfur on Sunday, killing an estimated 1,000 people after days of heavy rain, according to the Sudan Liberation Movement-Army.

The rebel group said the village was completely leveled, with only one survivor, and appealed for urgent international aid.

The ruling Sovereign Council expressed condolences and pledged support, while footage showed the devastated area in the Marrah Mountains, the Associated Press has reported.
