A new report by Human Rights Watch reveals the extent of killings and other abuses against largely non-Arab ethnic groups in Sudan's Darfur region since fighting between the Sudanese army and a powerful paramilitary group erupted in April. Many of the abuses amount the war crimes, the rights group says, and is calling for the International Criminal Court to investigate them.
The violence, including mass killings of men, women and children, echo the atrocities of the Darfur war 20 years ago, which saw widespread ethnic cleansing.
