Landslide Kills 1,000 in Remote Sudanese Region, Rebels Say

A landslide flattened an entire village in war-torn Sudan’s western Darfur region, leaving at least 1,000 people dead, according to a rebel group that controls the area.

The disaster in Tarasin followed intense rainfall in the remote Jebel Marra area in the last week of August, the Sudan Liberation Movement/Army said in a statement on Tuesday. One person survived, the group said.
