The United States and Britain have called on Burkina Faso's transitional authorities to carry out a thorough investigation into reports of massacres by the military. The United States has appealed to all countries - including the United Arab Emirates - to stop providing support to warring parties in Sudan.
Last week Human Rights Watch reported that two villages were raided by the army in February as part of an operation against Islamist militants. The US ambassador to the United Nations, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, said the Sudanese army and the rival Rapid Support Forces (RSF) were both receiving support, leading to the destruction of Sudan and the displacement of millions.
Survivors said soldiers went door-to-door, rounded up residents and opened fire on them. There are fears that the RSF plans to attack El Fashir - the last city the army still holds in the western Darfur region.
The authorities in military-ruled Burkina Faso rejected the report as "baseless". The UN has warned of a catastrophe for the civilian population if there is a battle for control of the city.
Several international media organisations, including the BBC, have been suspended after reporting the allegations. Read more on the war in Sudan:
