Days of torrential rain appear to have loosened the soil and caused the slopes of the Marrah Mountains to collapse.

The SLM’s leader, Abdelwahid Mohamed Nour, issued a desperate plea to the world for help recovering bodies.

The group said: “Initial information indicates the death of all village residents, estimated to be more than one thousand people.

“Only one person survived.”

The SLM, a rebel group, has control of the Darfur region in western Sudan.
