At Least 127 Killed as Sudan's Army Battles Rapid Support Forces
----------------------------------------------------------------

In Sudan, at least 127 people have been killed over the past two days as
fighting between the Sudanese army and paramilitary Rapid Support Forces
grows more bloody with the warring sides launching attacks across North
Darfur. The army has also intensified airstrikes on regions controlled
by the RSF. Meanwhile, RSF fighters have conducted deadly raids on
villages, with both sides heavily targeting civilian communities. This
is the governor of Khartoum.

Gov. Ahmed Osman Hamza: "This attack, instead of being directed at our
heroes on the frontlines, is targeted at these innocent civilians in
their everyday lives, whether on public transportation or in markets.
This is an attack on the people, while wars should be fought on
battlefields and with regular forces."
The 20-month war has displaced some 11 million people from their homes
and unleashed the world's largest hunger crisis.
