CAIRO: Clashes that erupted last month between armed fighters in a city in Sudan’s troubled Darfur region have killed at least 100 people, according to a Sudanese statement. Doctors Syndicate.
Hospitals remain idle in Darfur city gene In a statement posted on its official Facebook page late Sunday, the Doctors Syndicate added that it is still difficult to make an accurate count of the injured.
The fighting in Geneina, which broke out just days after two rival generals of Sudan took up arms against each other in the capital, Khartoum, points to the possibility that the conflict could engulf other parts of the East African country.
The union’s death toll comes amid ongoing talks between warring parties in the Saudi city of Jeddah. A statement issued by the Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs, on Monday, stated that the negotiations between delegations from the Saudi army, on the one hand, and the powerful paramilitary force, the Rapid Support Forces, are expected to continue for a few more days.
The talks, which focus on creating humanitarian corridors to allow aid and civilians movement, are part of a broader diplomatic initiative proposed by Saudi Arabia and the United States to stop the fighting.
The Doctors Syndicate did not specify the two sides of the clashes in Geneina, a city of about half a million people located near the border with Chad that has been a flashpoint since the early days of the fighting.
Late last month, residents described how armed fighters, many in paramilitary Rapid Support Forces uniforms, searched the city, looting shops and homes and fighting with rival forces. The fighting was drawing in tribal militias, they said, tapping into age-old hatreds between the region’s two main societies – one Arab and the other East or Central African.
In the early 2000s, African tribes in Darfur, who had long complained of discrimination, rebelled against the Khartoum government, which responded with a military campaign that the International Criminal Court later said amounted to genocide. State-backed Arab militias known as the Janjaweed have been accused of widespread killings, rape and other atrocities. The Janjaweed later evolved into a paramilitary group of the Rapid Support Forces, known as the Rapid Support Forces.
At least 481 civilians were killed in the Khartoum clashes that erupted in mid-April between the army led by General Abdel Fattah Burhan and the Rapid Support Forces led by General Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, according to the doctors’ same statement. The number of wounded civilians jumped to more than 2,560.
On Friday, the governor of West Darfur state, where Geneina is located, accused the RSF of damaging government offices, setting fire to more than 10 shelters housing displaced communities, and looting homes and shops.
Today, West Darfur is a doomed province. “The remaining people of Darfur are living in very harsh conditions,” Major General Khamis Abdullah Abkar said in a video posted on a local news site on Friday.
The international community should not remain silent about the challenge in this province. should work immediately; People need shelter, food and medicine.
The paramilitary group has repeatedly denied allegations that its forces terrorized civilians or used brutal tactics.
