CWN Editor's Note: In “Fuga da Khartoum” [Flight from Khartoum]—the most prominent front-page article in its April 5 edition—the Vatican newspaper lamented the atrocities committed by Sudan’s army as it reconquered the nation’s capital, nearly two years after a civil war began.
“Endless horrors in Sudan, which two years ago fell into the spiral of a bloody civil war with no end in sight,” wrote Valerio Palombaro, a staff journalist. “From Khartoum come horrifying reports of summary executions in the streets. People stretched out on the ground and beheaded.”
“Others, dragged for meters, led into a hole and killed by machine-gun fire,” he continued. “Cold-blooded killings of civilians, which push thousands of people to flee.”
