Written by Tunde Adeyemi on November 6, 2023
More than 20 people have been killed and several others injured after shells hit a market in a suburb of Sudan’s capital Khartoum.
The crowded market in Omdurman was hit after an intense exchange of fire between the Sudan army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, RSF.
The clashes continue in the capital and in other cities in Darfur and the Kordofan region, amid talks between the rival forces in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
Sudan’s Emergency Lawyers, a non-governmental group, condemned the two warring sides for continued fighting in populated areas and called for a ceasefire.
More than 9,000 people have been killed and nearly six million others displaced since the fighting started in mid-April.
