notes: On 1 January 2021, an unknown group (likely linked to the RSF) attacked health workers at the hospital in Zalingei (Central Darfur state), and torched a pharmacy whilst engaging in a looting spree. The incident appears to have been sparked by the death of a young man in unclear circumstances, and/or the arrest of an RSF paramilitary by police stationed at the hospital. An unspecified number of hospital staff were wounded, and gunfire was reported.
