SUDAN; A drone attack on an open market south of the Sudanese capital, Khartoum, has killed at least 40 people, activists and medical workers said, as the military and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) battle for control of the country.

At least 70 others were injured in the attack in Khartoum’s Mayo neighbourhood on Sunday, according to resistance committees and two healthcare workers at the Bashair University Hospital, where the casualties were treated. Many of them will require amputations.

The group posted footage on social media showing bodies wrapped in white sheets in an open yard at the hospital.

You may wish to know that Sudan has been rocked by violence since mid-April, when tensions between the country’s military, led by al-Burhan, and the RSF, commanded by General Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, burst into open fighting.
