KHARTOUM - Sudanese government forces are killing civilians in rebel-held border areas with indiscriminate bombardments that include improvised "barrel bombs" filled with nails and jagged metal, Human Rights Watch said on Wednesday.
A senior member of the Arab-African country's ruling party dismissed the report as "completely incorrect."

Hundreds of thousands of people have since fled their homes in the two states.
