At least 22 killed in air raid attack in Sudan
2023-07-10


At least 22 people have been killed in an Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...
in Ondurman, at the outskirts of Suadnese capital, Khartoum.

The attack is one of the deadliest in the weeks-long fighting between Sudan’s army and a renegade paramilitary force.

According to a statement by the Sudanese Health Ministry, the attack also maimed an unspecified number of people and has drawn condemnation from the United Nations
...the Oyster Bay money pit...
The RSF,
... Rapid Support Forces, the successor organization to the Arab/Muslim Sudanese Janjaweed militia drawn from local nomadic tribes of camel and cattle herders. Originally a tool of Muammar Ghadaffy’s pan-Arabism back in the 1980s, by the beginning of the new millennium they were supported by the Sudanese government to harass rebellious Bantu/Muslim farmers in the Darfur region — though some would call the murder of over 200,000 civilians an attempted genocide. Heaven only knows why they’ve fallen out with the military government now...
which said the attack killed 31 civilians, blamed the army for attacking residential areas in Omdurman where fighting has raged between the warring factions.

The military reportedly attempted to cut off a crucial supply line.

The RSF "vehemently condemn the deliberate air strikes conducted by the Death Eater terrorist militia led by (army Chief Abdel Fattah) al-Burhan", the group said in a statement.

Adding, "This heinous attack, orchestrated by the Sudanese Armed Forces [SAF] with the support of remnants from the former regime has resulted in the tragic loss of more than 31 lives and numerous civilian injuries."
