33 At Sudan strikes killed on paramilitary RSF

At least 33 people were killed in Sudan during attacks that the paramilitary Rapid supporters in the war have accused the army since April 2023, said first aiders on Saturday.

After six days in a row of RSF drone strikes, the attacks came to the government of the government of the army, which damaged the most important infrastructure, including the power grid.

On Friday evening, at least 14 members of the same family were killed in an air raid in an displacement camp in the huge western region of Darfur, said a rescue group that blames the paramilitaries.

The Abu Shouk Camp “was the goal of intensive bombing by the Rapid Support Forces on Friday evening,” said the group of volunteers, who also reported wounded.

“Fourteen Sudanese, members of the same family, were killed” and several people wounded, it said in a explanation.

The camp near El-Fasher, the last state capital in Darfur, which still comes out of the control of the RSF, is plagued by hunger, according to the United Nations.

It is the home of tens of thousands of people who have fled the violence of successive conflicts in Darfur, and the conflict that has been tearing the third largest country in Africa since 2023.

The RSF has shot at the camp several times in the past few weeks.

Abu Shouk is located near the Zamzam camp, which the RSF confiscated in April after a devastating offensive that practically emptied it.

The United Nations say that almost a million people were protected on site.

On Saturday, an RSF strike killed at least 19 people against a prison in the southern city of El-Obes controlled by the army and wounded 45, said a medical source.

The source told AFP That the prison in the state capital North Kordofan was hit by an RSF drone.

The war that began as a power struggle between the boss of the army Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and his former deputy, RSF Commander Mohamed Hamdan Daglohas integrated into what the United Nations call the worst humanitarian crisis in the world.

It has effectively divided the country into two parts, whereby the army controls the north, east and the center, while the RSF and its allies dominate almost the entire Darfur in the west and parts of the south.
