  • The Sudanese army claims to have killed multiple RSF fighters in Nyala, while RSF alleges civilian deaths in the attack.
  • The Sudanese army has reported that dozens of Rapid Support Forces (RSF) fighters were killed in an attack in Nyala. In a counter-claim, the RSF alleges that the army's actions resulted in the deaths of 30 civilians at a busy livestock market.
  • This escalation highlights the ongoing tensions and violence in the region, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis. Both sides continue to exchange accusations, further complicating the situation.
  • Sudan has been experiencing significant unrest and conflict, particularly since the ousting of former President Omar al-Bashir in 2019. The RSF, originally formed to combat insurgencies, has increasingly become involved in political power struggles.
  • The conflicting narratives from the Sudanese army and the RSF reflect the deepening divisions within the country. As both factions vie for control, the civilian population bears the brunt of the violence, raising concerns about human rights violations and the urgent need for international intervention.
