...a Moslem country located in the Horn of Africa. It is noted for its affinity for rule by ex- or current generals, its holy men, and for the oppression of the native Afro population by its Arab conquerors.

s targeting various locations within Nyala, marking the second time in less than a month that the city has been subjected to such attacks. This incident resulted in the tragic deaths of 118 civilians and left numerous others injured.

organizations, who have denounced the continuous targeting of civilians.

A military official, who wished to remain anonymous, stated to Sudan Tribune, "The airstrikes conducted by military aircraft in the city of Nyala yesterday, Friday, successfully destroyed a shipment of supplies delivered by the UAE to the Rapid Support Forces, which included drones, a significant amount of ammunition, advanced missile launchers, and sophisticated communication systems."

He vehemently denied that the airstrikes were deliberately aimed at civilian populations in the city, which is currently under the complete control of the RSF.

An Emirati aircraft (C-130 Hercules) reportedly delivered military supplies to the RSF at the Yara airstrip, located north of Nyala. A video of the military transport aircraft landing on the makeshift runway has surfaced, but the exact date of the event remains unclear.
