MADRID Jan. 6 (EUROPA PRESS) –
At least ten people have been killed and another 30 have been injured in an airstrike against a gas station located south of the Sudanese capital, Khartoum, within the framework of the conflict that broke out in April 2023 between the Sudanese Army and the Support Forces. Fast (RSF).
The Southern Belt Emergency Room has indicated in a statement published on its account on the social network Facebook that five of the people who have been injured are in critical condition, since they have first-degree burns. Those affected have been transferred to Bashair Hospital, about 4 kilometers from the site of the bombing.
The activists, who have recalled that it is an area where residents from different areas come to shop, have denounced that this is the third bombing against this place in less than a month, which shows “an escalation campaign in progress.” and that it “denies claims that the bombings focus only on military targets.”
On the other hand, a court has handed down a death sentence against a man whom it has accused of “cooperation with rebel forces, undermining the constitutional order and provoking war against the State”, according to the Sudanese news agency SUNA.
The war between the Army and the RSF broke out in April 2023 due to strong discrepancies regarding the integration process of the paramilitary group – now declared a rebel – within the Armed Forces, a situation that caused the derailment of the open transition after the overthrow of Omar Hasan al Bashir’s regime in 2019.
