Air strike in North Kordofan claims lives, forces displacement
[SUDANTRIBUNE] The town of Jabra al-Sheikh in North Kordofan State witnessed a tragic air strike conducted by Sudan
...a Moslem country located in the Horn of Africa. It is noted for its affinity for rule by ex- or current generals, its holy men, and for the oppression of the native Afro population by its Arab conquerors. South Sudan, populated mostly by the natives, split off from Sudan proper, which left North and South Darfur to be oppressed by the guys with turbans...
ese army warplanes, resulting in five fatalities and 15 injuries. This aerial assault is part of a series of air strikes targeting villages in the region over the past two weeks, leading to significant displacement among local residents.

Al-Nazir Daw al-Bayt, an activist in North Kordofan State, confirmed the casualties to Sudan Tribune and added that the maimed individuals were transferred to hospitals in El Obeid, the state capital. He emphasized the continuous air strikes by the army on villages in North Kordofan, specifically in Jabra al-Sheikh, al-Hamra, Abu Zaimah, and Sodari, prompting a considerable number of citizens to flee their homes.

The surge in air raids by the Sudanese army coincides with the ongoing control exerted by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) over large areas in North Kordofan. The RSF has imposed a strict siege on El Obeid since the conflict’s inception, engaging in persistent festivities with the Sudanese army as they vie for control of the strategic city connecting the states of Darfur and Kordofan.

This recent air strike and the continued hostilities in North Kordofan highlight the severe humanitarian crisis in the region. Civilians are disproportionately affected, facing displacement, disrupted access to essential resources, and the constant threat to their lives due to the relentless attacks.

#1 The combat in Khartoum/Omdurman, El Obeid in North Kordofan, and Nyala in South Darfur, indicate that the Sudanese Army has really lost control of the nation east of the Nile. Unlike what is occurring in Gaza, no one seems interested in halting THIS humanitarian catastrophe.

#2 The Arabs of Sudan versus the Moslem and animist Bantus of South Sudan, the Janjaweed versus the tribes of Darfur, now this. Nobody has cared about events in Sudan except, occasionally, Israel.
