(Sudan Liberation Movement | Army/Handout via Reuters)LAGOS, Nigeria — A massive landslide in western Sudan has destroyed the village of Tarseen in Darfur and killed as many as 1,000 people, according to local groups. Many of the victims were displaced and starving, having fled more than two years of intense fighting in Sudan’s civil war. The landslide struck Sunday in the mountainous Jebel Marra region, an area controlled by the Sudan Liberation Movement-Army (SLM-A). Many displaced residents fled to remote areas like Jebel Marra, where NGOs have limited access and aid delivery is extremely difficult, especially during the rainy season.
