AFPGENEVA (AFP) - Attacks on four villages in West Darfur in January and February by the Sudanese armed forces amounted to a "deliberate" military strategy, the United Nations said in a report on Thursday.
The attacks resulted in at least 115 deaths, according to a report issued jointly by the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights and the UN African Union Mission in Darfur.
"The scale of destruction of civilian property, including objects indispensable for the survival of the civilian population, suggests that the damage was a deliberate and integral part of a military strategy," said the report.
The UN further condemned the attacks as "violations of international humanitarian and human rights law", saying that they failed to "distinguish between civilian objects and military objectives".
