🚨 At least 65 civilians were killed Tuesday in a devastating artillery attack in Omdurman, a city north of Sudan's capital, Khartoum. The assault, allegedly carried out by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), marks one of the deadliest incidents in Sudan's escalating conflict.
🏘️ Survivors described chaos as shells struck residential areas, with local authorities calling the attack a “deliberate targeting of civilians”. The Khartoum State government accused the RSF of violating international law, but the group has yet to comment publicly.
💥 This tragedy adds fuel to the 11-month power struggle between the RSF and Sudan’s national army, which has displaced over 8 million people and triggered warnings of famine. Analysts say the conflict risks destabilizing the wider region, with neighboring countries scrambling to respond.
🌐 Global humanitarian groups urge immediate aid access, while social media buzzes with #SudanCrisis appeals. For young activists and news enthusiasts tracking global conflicts, this tragedy underscores the urgent need for international attention. 📢💔
