Catastrophic Landslide in Sudan Claims Over 1,000 Lives

KHARTOUM – A devastating landslide in Sudan’s Marra Mountains has claimed the lives of more than 1,000 people, the Sudan Liberation Movement/Army (SLM/A) reported on Monday. The natural disaster, which occurred on August 31 following intense rainfall, completely flattened a village, leaving only a single survivor.

The SLM/A, led by Abdelwahid Nour, confirmed the staggering death toll and highlighted the extreme vulnerability of communities in the remote, mountainous region. The landslide serves as a grim reminder of the dangers posed by severe weather events in areas where infrastructure is fragile and homes are not built to withstand such a disaster.
