A mass grave has been discovered in Sudan’s West Darfur state, with at least 87 bodies, as a regional summit hosted by Egypt to help solve the crisis in Sudan gets under way.

The United Nations human rights office today said that it had credible information that the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), were responsible, the same day the summit kicked off in Cairo.

The UN said the mass grave includes the bodies of Masalit people, an indication of the ethnically-motivated fighting taking place in Sudan
