MADRID 13 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) –
An air attack attributed to the Sudanese Army this past Saturday left at least 23 dead and 40 injured in a crowded market in the south of the country’s capital, Khartoum, according to civil medical organizations.
The attack fully hit the market and adjacent homes in the district known as the Southern Belt, which includes numerous neighborhoods that remain disputed between the Sudanese Army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces since the outbreak of war in the African country, in April of last year.
The so-called Sudan Emergency Rooms, a civil organization of youth medical volunteers, has explained on its Facebook page that the bombing has left “massive destruction” and that several skyscrapers surrounding the market have been greatly affected by the impacts. The Army has not yet commented on what happened.
Sudan is mired in a civil war as a result of hostilities amid rising tensions over the integration of the RSF into the Armed Forces, a key part of an agreement signed in December 2022 to form a new civilian government and reactivate the transition opened after the 2019 overthrow of Omar Hasán al Bashir, damaged by the coup d’état of October 2021, in which the then transition minister, Abdullah Hamdok, was overthrown.
