Sudan’s capital, Khartoum, is currently experiencing battles between the army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces. The army recently launched an offensive against the RSF, with Al Jazeera’s Hiba Morgan reporting from the scene. This latest development comes amid ongoing political instability in Sudan as various factions vie for power.
The clashes in Khartoum have raised concerns about the potential for further violence and instability in the country. The RSF, a paramilitary group that has been accused of carrying out human rights abuses, has been a key player in Sudan’s political landscape since the ousting of former president Omar al-Bashir in 2019. The group has been able to maintain its influence and power despite attempts to reform the security sector.
The army’s offensive against the RSF signals a new chapter in Sudan’s political turmoil, with the possibility of further violence and unrest in the country. International observers are closely monitoring the situation in Khartoum, with many calling for a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
As the situation unfolds in Khartoum, it is important for the international community to support efforts to de-escalate the conflict and prevent further bloodshed. The people of Sudan have already suffered greatly from the decades-long rule of al-Bashir and subsequent political upheavals. It is crucial that all parties involved in the current conflict prioritize the well-being of the Sudanese people and work towards a peaceful resolution.
