Over the course of two days, Sudanese paramilitary forces launched attacks on the city of El-Fasher in Darfur, resulting in the deaths of 48 individuals, according to a medical source who spoke to AFP on Friday. This news comes in the wake of appeals from global leaders for an end to the suffering in the country. The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) carried out artillery strikes that claimed the lives of 30 people and injured dozens more on Friday, as reported by a medical source at El-Fasher Teaching Hospital. The paramilitaries and the regular army are currently engaged in a struggle for control over the capital of North Darfur state.
The shelling follows an assault on a market that occurred on Thursday, which “brought 18 dead to the hospital,” according to the anonymous source who requested protection due to the ongoing attacks on healthcare workers and facilities. The source further stated that “some of them burned and others killed by shrapnel.”
The dire situation in Sudan, particularly in El-Fasher, has been a topic of discussion at the UN General Assembly in New York this week, as the country has been grappling with 17 months of devastating conflict between the RSF and the regular army.
