In Sudan, at least 127 people have been killed over the past two days as fighting between the Sudanese army and paramilitary Rapid Support Forces grows more bloody with the warring sides launching attacks across North Darfur. The army has also intensified airstrikes on regions controlled by the RSF. Meanwhile, RSF fighters have conducted deadly raids on villages, with both sides heavily targeting civilian communities. This is the governor of Khartoum.
Gov. Ahmed Osman Hamza: “This attack, instead of being directed at our heroes on the frontlines, is targeted at these innocent civilians in their everyday lives, whether on public transportation or in markets. This is an attack on the people, while wars should be fought on battlefields and with regular forces.”
The 20-month war has displaced some 11 million people from their homes and unleashed the world’s largest hunger crisis.
