The syndicate appealed to medical staff to go to “Al-Nu Hospital” in Omdurman to provide ambulance to the injured as a result of clashes between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces
The Sudanese Medical Syndicate announced on Tuesday evening that many people were wounded in clashes between the army and the Rapid Support Forces in the city of Omdurman, west of the capital Khartoum.
The union said in a statement that “in light of the ongoing fighting in Omdurman and the city’s revolutions neighborhoods in particular, many wounded and injured, including unstable cases.”
For its part, the Sudanese army said in a brief statement that “our forces in Omdurman destroy combat vehicles and receive the spoils of the mercenary enemy (rapid support) forcibly and ably on Tuesday,” without further details.
Earlier on Tuesday, violent clashes with heavy and light weapons renewed between the army and the Rapid Support in Khartoum.
Eyewitnesses told Anadolu Agency that the clashes broke out in the vicinity of the “Central Reserve” (police forces) and radio and television in the city of Omdurman
Witnesses pointed to heavy warplanes flying over the city, with guns and bombs heard.
The Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces accuse each other of first starting the fighting in mid-April, then committing violations during a series of truces that failed to end clashes that left more than 3,000 people dead, most of them civilians, and more than 2.2 million displaced inside and outside one of the world’s poorest countries, according to the Ministry of Health and the United Nations.
