On 8 November 2023, the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and Janjaweed massacred between 800 and 2,000 in Ardamata, Geneina, West Darfur, Sudan – although estimates vary. The attack came after the Sudanese Armed Forces's 15th Infantry Division camp retreated to Chad between during 6-8 November. About 20,000 fled to Chad following the violence. Reports indicated ethnic targeting, mostly the Masalit community, but also members of other non-Arab groups, notably Tama and Erenga people.
