Associated Press reports that smoke plumes rise as a result of clashes between Khartoum’s army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces ( Reuters ).
A community of volunteer rescuers in Sudan reported on Sunday that the army had attacked a Khartoum market a day earlier, killing 23 people and injuring more than 100 others.
The military Rapid Support Forces ( RSF), whose principal base is close to the market and where the army is engaged in a civil war that has resulted in the deaths of tens of thousands of people, are fighting near the military’s main camp.
” Twenty-three persons were confirmed dead and more than 40 people wounded” and taken to hospital after “military air strikes on Saturday afternoon on the principal marketplace” in southwestern Khartoum, the youth-led Emergency Response Suites said in a post on Facebook.
