New paramilitary attacks in Sudan kill more than 20 people

Khartoum, Mar 7 (Prensa Latina) Several villages in the state of Gezira, in central Sudan, were reportedly attacked by paramilitary troops with a toll of 21 people dead.

According to a Sudanese civil society group, known as the Gezira Conference, the attacks were carried out this time against villages belonging to the locality of Al Kamlin, between Wednesday and Thursday, while the inhabitants were carrying out their daily activities.

The organization also denounced that the region is suffering from a severe shortage of food and medical supplies, which has led to the death of elderly people and children.

Since mid-April 2023, this African nation has been plunged into an internal war, after contradictions over power issues between the head of the Abdel Fatah al-Burhan Army and the leader of the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, Mohamed Hamdan Daglo, flared up.

The conflict is keeping more than 14 million Sudanese from their homes, in what experts consider to be the world’s largest displacement crisis.

The fighting has also destroyed countless livelihoods, plunging the country into a complex spiral of hunger and death.
