Sudan: Army air strike kills at least 22 people in Omdurman
A Sudanese army air strike has killed at least 22 people in western Omdurman, the Khartoum state health ministry said on Saturday, as the country’s war entered its 85th day.
Khartoum’s twin city, Omdurman has in recent days been the focus of fighting between the army and its enemy, the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
The western part of the city is a key supply route for the RSF, which brings in reinforcements to the capital’s metropolitan area from its power base in Darfur, in western Sudan.
While the federal health ministry has said that hundreds of people have died in Sudan’s conflict, which began on 15 April, the real figure is believed to be far higher.
