June 25 (EUROPA PRESS) –
The United Nations mission for Sudan, UNITAMS, announced this Sunday the arrival of a new consignment of essential aid material to the Sudanese population affected by the war between the Army and the paramilitary Rapid Action Forces (RSF), a group this The latter, which in recent weeks would have made significant progress in the capital, Khartoum.
In a post on its Twitter account, UNITAMS confirms the arrival by air transport of “essential aid materials” from the UN refugee agency (UNHCR). “They are essential elements that will soon reach those who need them,” they have pointed out, “despite logistical difficulties.”
Right now the conflict in Sudan between the Army and the paramilitaries is developing with the same intensity with which it began, despite the multiple humanitarian truces declared since its outbreak on April 15.
This past Saturday, the British channel BBC published a detailed report on the current situation in the capital, where, according to media sources, “the Sudanese Army is barely present” and “a good part of the capital is in the hands of the paramilitaries.” despite the numerical superiority of the Army, which doubles the approximately 100,000 RSF fighters.
“The Army is outnumbered in the streets of Khartoum and in the two sister cities across the Nile, Bahri and Omdurman, according to BBC information. There, the paramilitaries control the main oil terminal, the state media headquarters, a good part of the presidential complex and a large part of the international airport.
The Army, for its part, is holding out at some strategic points such as the Wadi Saeedna air base, from where it launches constant air attacks against the RSF.
In addition to the capital, the fighting is being extremely bloody throughout the territory of Darfur, not only in Western Darfur — and particularly in its capital, El Geneina, which according to survivors has been turned into a death camp by intercommunal clashes fueled by the conflict — but in South Darfur and specifically in its capital, Nyala.
There, and according to witnesses from Darfur 24, 29 people have died this past Saturday and “an incalculable number” have been injured by combat between the Army and paramilitaries, in the midst of the most violent clashes since the outbreak of the conflict.
In the absence of an update, the state Ministry of Health estimates so far 107 deaths and more than 500 injuries in the capital alone, to which almost thirty deaths should be added.
