New fighting is reported between the Sudanese army and the RSF in Darfur

A new wave of fighting has reportedly started between the Sudanese military and the fighters of the RSF Rapid Assistance Forces in the state of Darfur, in the west of the country.

Activists of the Al-Fasher civil group have told the Anadolu news agency that the fighting started last Friday and continues until now.

More information says that several people have been injured after their houses were attacked by rockets near the city of Al-Fasher, the capital of North Darfur state.

It is said that heavy weapons have been used in the new wave of conflict in the state of Darfur. However, until we finish preparing this information, no information has been released by the Sudanese army or the RSF regarding the war.

A new wave of fighting has begun in Sudan in a situation where the International Organization for the Defense of Human Rights Human Rights Watch recently said that the series of attacks by Sudanese militia forces in the Darfur region increases the possibility of "genocide".

In addition, citizens in the city and the wider area of ​​Darfur are already suffering from a high level of hunger, but the delivery of food aid has been slow due to bureaucratic restrictions and ongoing fighting in those areas.

Armed clashes began in Sudan on April 15 last year between the country's army (SAF) led by General Abdel Fattah al Burhan who is the leader of Sudan and the RSF militia whose commander is Hamdan Dagalo.

Until now, international mediation efforts to end the conflict, which has resulted in the deaths of more than 13,000 people and approximately 8.5 million forced to become refugees inside and outside of Sudan, have hit a rock.a
