An attack on an open market in the Sudanese city of Omdurman by a paramilitary group killed 61 people and wounded more than 150, health authorities said Saturday.
The attack by the Rapid Support Forces on the Sabrein Market was the latest in a series of deadly attacks in the escalated civil war that has wrecked the northeastern African country.

It has been marked by gross atrocities including ethnically motivated killing and rape, according the United Nations and rights groups.
