Hi there,

In this chaotic news cycle it may be tempting to tune out, but we hope you won’t—only an informed and engaged public can defend democracy. In these times of deep political polarization we need news that goes beyond play-by-play headlines, news that goes to the heart of each story by asking people to tell their own stories of abuses of power and injustice in their own words. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Sudanese Army Shelling Kills 32 Civilians in Omdurman

HeadlineSep 07, 2023

Sudan’s military ruler has issued a decree ordering the dissolution of the Rapid Support Forces, the rival paramilitary group that’s been fighting Sudan’s army since April. The decree came amid continued heavy fighting in Sudan’s capital region. On Tuesday, witnesses said artillery attacks by the Sudanese army killed at least 32 people and injured dozens more in the city of Omdurman.

On Wednesday, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Linda Thomas-Greenfield visited Sudanese refugees in Chad, where she announced new U.S. sanctions on leaders of the RSF over widespread human rights abuses.
