PORT SUDAN: Over the past week, Sudan’s army and paramilitary rivals have attacked two towns in western Darfur, killing 114 people, medical sources said AFP Sunday. Sudan has been at war with the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) since April 2023, after the RSF took the army’s last holdout position in Darfur in October.
The RSF has now pushed west to the Chadian border and east into the huge Kordofan area, where a drone hit on the North Kordofan capital of El-Obeid on Sunday caused a power outage in the important army-controlled city.
Family members of RSF commander Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, the former deputy of his now-rival army chief Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan, live in Al-Zuruq, which the RSF controls. Two members of the Dagalo family were killed, Moussa Saleh Dagalo and Awad Moussa Saleh Dagalo, according to an eyewitness at the burial.
Both the RSF and the army are accused of targeting civilian areas in what the UN has dubbed a “war of atrocities. RSF fighters marching westward toward the Chadian border last week killed another 63 people in and around Kernoi, a medical source at the local hospital said AFP on Sunday.
