The Sudanese Ministry of Health warned this Saturday that the current armed conflict in the African country between factions of the military leadership has already led to the death of more than 500 people and thousands of injured, according to PL.
According to the portfolio, the streets of Khartoum were engulfed in chaos, with heavy explosions and shootings in the Sudanese capital and the city of Omdurman, despite the extension of the truce.
In addition, residents also reported attacks around the army headquarters, the Palace of the Republic and the area near the international airport, which are the main sources of violence.
The army and the FAR accuse each other of violating the ceasefire, despite the promise to respect the ceasefire in order to allow operations and humanitarian actions in Sudan.
Since the clashes began on April 15, both sides have not fully respected a single truce.
This Friday, army warplanes bombed the bases of their rivals in Khartoum: rapid reaction paramilitaries; Explosions were also on the other side of the river, in Omdurman.
This Saturday, artillery shots were also heard in the east of the capital, and eyewitnesses reported that this morning army warplanes flew over the positions of the FAR in the east of the Nile and fired at them.
Meanwhile, the evacuation continues; Turkey said one of its evacuation planes was fired upon outside of Khartoum on Friday, with no injuries; The United Kingdom said it would halt its evacuation flights this Saturday after the number of British citizens requesting air travel began to dwindle.
Several countries and international institutions have tried to mediate between the warring parties, but so far there has been no rapprochement between them, only the establishment of an unstable truce.
On April 15, an armed conflict for power broke out in Sudan between two generals who seized the country in a coup in 2021: the head of the army, Abdelfatah al-Burhan; and his former number two, Mohamed Hamdan Daglo, who now leads the paramilitary operational support force.
