The fighting between the Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) and its paramilitary counterpart, the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), continued in the Sudanese capital this weekend. The South Darfur capital of Nyala witnessed a cautious calm since Saturday after the RSF took control of the city.
In West Kordofan, the army is preparing to secure the eastern part of the state after an attack by the Sudan People's Liberation Movement North under the leadership of Abdelaziz El Hilu on Lagawa town.
"The market was working on less than half of its power anyway, due to the weak purchasing power of the people still present, as they spent all their savings already," he stated."The Jebel Awlia Hospital has closed its doors for more than two weeks now because of the continued artillery shelling," he said. He also reported the partial restoration of electricity to the southern neighbourhoods of Jebel Awlia after a blackout of more than three weeks.
The army reportedly repelled RSF attacks on the armoured vehicles department at the El Shajara military compound during the weekend. The management of the hospital reported an acute shortage of life-saving medicines, intravenous means and other medical needs to save the lives of people hit by missiles or bullets, and appealed to"international and national relief organisations to provide medical assistance to hospitals operating in South Darfur".. Nyala Police Chief Maj Bashir Eisa directed prosecutors to secure the people's safety and resume basic services, including the opening of markets and hospitals.
