Sudan RSF Attacks Kill 33, Damage Key Infrastructure Amid Civil War

Sudan's ongoing civil war between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has escalated with recent deadly attacks across the country. The RSF has been accused of multiple strikes, including a drone attack on a prison in el-Obeid killing at least 19 people and an airstrike on the Abu Shouk displacement camp in Darfur that killed 14 members of the same family. RSF shelling in el-Fasher, a key city in Darfur and the last major SAF stronghold in the region, has resulted in numerous civilian casualties and destruction of humanitarian hubs. The RSF also conducted repeated drone attacks on Port Sudan, damaging critical infrastructure including the power grid and the country's only operational civilian airport, which is vital for aid delivery. The conflict, ongoing since April 2023, has resulted in over 20,000 deaths and displaced millions, with both sides accused of war crimes. Meanwhile, the Sudanese government has severed ties with the UAE, accusing it of supplying weapons to the RSF, a claim denied by the UAE, while the African Union has rejected any interference in the conflict.
