Khartoum activists blame RSF for deadly shelling in Al-Jarif
|
[SUDANTRIBUNE] At least 13 people were killed and others injured in artillery shelling that struck Al-Jarif’s eastern Hab Al-Naseem neighbourhood on Thursday. The Al-Jarif Emergency Room confirmed the casualties but did not assign blame.
Local activists believe the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) are responsible. They allege the RSF, which controls much of the eastern Nile region, fired on a residential area where a social gathering was taking place. This resulted in civilian casualties, including women and children.
Speaking anonymously to the Sudan Tribune, a resident claimed the RSF had previously banned gatherings in the area. They believe the shelling aimed to displace residents.
The eastern Nile has been tense for the past two months following clashes between the RSF and the Sudanese army. The RSF currently controls most of the region.
Communication and internet services in Khartoum have been largely unavailable since February, further straining the population.
The conflict between the military and the RSF nears its first anniversary. Both sides prioritize military victory, ignoring international, regional, and local pleas for a ceasefire and negotiations.
