Meanwhile, Dagalo has strengthened his tactical military positions by driving civilians out of their properties and employing the well-worn playbook developed in Darfur: Kill, terrorize and expel. Since mid-April, al-Burhan has largely waged his offensive from the sky, bombarding RSF positions in residential areas and inflicting a civilian death toll. Forces loyal to two rival generals – Sudan’s military ruler and head of the army Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and General Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, chief of the RSF – are vying for control, and as is so often the case, civilians have suffered the most. Months of fierce fighting across Sudan has left hopes for a peaceful transition to civilian rule in tatters. Out of 130 hospitals in Khartoum, about 40 hospitals are currently operating, but the rest have stopped due to ongoing deadly clashes. There are many additional deaths and injuries that are not included in initial reports, as health officials “are unable to reach hospitals due to the difficulty of movement and the security situation in the country,” the Khartoum health ministry said in a report Thursday.Īll hospitals in the state of West Darfur have completely stopped providing health services except for a few mobile health clinics, Ibrahim told al-Hadath. More than 3,000 people have been killed and 6,000 wounded across Sudan since violent clashes erupted between the SAF and RSF on April 15, Sudan’ Health Minister Haitham Ibrahim told Saudi-owned al-Hadath News Television Saturday.
