Sudan.
This isn't being covered much by US media like Fox News or MSNBC because most Americans don't give a shit about what happens in Black countries.

The Hell that is Sudan
The city of El Fasher fell last week to a rebel paramilitary in Sudan’s civil war. Videos online showed fighters casually executing civilians. Some of the survivors walked 40 miles out, on roads littered with bodies, to reach the nearest aid zone. There, aid workers collected their accounts on behalf of The Times.
“There were bodies of men and women everywhere — some people were run over by vehicles,” Saeeda, a 28-year-old woman, said. “While we were on the road, they took girls from our group — choosing them and dragging them away.”
Hundreds are arriving with bullet wounds and many bear the signs of torture, according to local medics. Children — presumably orphaned in El Fasher or along the way — are often being deposited not by their parents, but by other escaping strangers. “I’m here alone,” said one young boy with a broken foot. “At night I find places where people gather and sleep on the ground near them,” he added. “I hope someone helps me.”
The civil war in Sudan has displaced 12 million people and may have killed about 400,000. It is, as Declan Walsh, our chief Africa correspondent, called it, “the world’s worst humanitarian crisis.” Experts call it a genocide. Read more about the escapees from El Fasher.
