The Battle of Kutum was a conflict during the War in Sudan which occurred in and around the town of Kutum in North Darfur.[3] The Rapid Support Forces quickly overran the city, and carried out massacres in the city and the neighboring Kassab IDP camp. The group then attacked neighboring villages in early June.[4]
