UN chief alarms over reported summary executions of civilians in Sudan's conflict.

The UN Human Rights Chief, Volker Türk, has expressed alarm over reported summary executions of civilians in Sudan's Khartoum North, allegedly by Sudanese army fighters and allied militia. The conflict has led to the deaths of tens of thousands and displaced over 12 million. The UN has verified at least 18 killings since January 25, with many victims originally from Darfur or Kordofan. Türk called for urgent action to protect civilians and uphold international laws, and for independent investigations into the incidents.
