In a devastating turn of events, at least 65 civilians lost their lives on Tuesday in the city of Omdurman, just north of Sudan's capital, Khartoum.
The tragedy unfolded when artillery fire struck the city, allegedly launched by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF). The Khartoum State government reported the incident, sending shockwaves through the community and beyond.
Omdurman, a city rich in history and culture, has been thrust into mourning. Families are grappling with the sudden loss of loved ones, and the local community is rallying together in the face of this adversity.
\"We heard the explosions, and then the news started to spread,\" one resident shared. \"It's unimaginable that such a thing could happen here.\" 😔
The RSF, a prominent paramilitary force in Sudan, has been involved in various conflicts throughout the region. However, attacks on civilian areas like Omdurman raise serious concerns about the escalating tensions and the safety of innocent people caught in the crossfire.
International organizations and local authorities are calling for immediate action to protect civilians and bring those responsible to justice. The incident highlights the urgent need for peace and stability in Sudan.
Our thoughts are with the families affected by this tragedy. 💛 Let's hope for a swift resolution and peace for the people of Sudan.
