KHARTOUM, Sudan — Sudanese government forces attacked one of Darfur’s largest refugee camps at dawn Monday, killing dozens of civilians, according to rebels and a witness in the camp.
Sudan’s military acknowledged a firefight but said shooting began when soldiers tried to raid the camp to search for smuggled weapons. It put the number of casualties at 12, including five soldiers.
The United Nations did not provide a death toll. But a resident of the camp, Mandela Abdullah Mohammed, said by telephone that he counted 32 bodies, including several women and children.
