PORT SUDAN, Sudan: A paramilitary attack on an area east of North Darfur´s besieged capital El-Fasher has killed 14 Sudanese civilians, activists said on Sunday.
The “treacherous attack” took place in an area “northeastern Um Kadadah in North Darfur state on Saturday”, said the local resistance committee.
The group is one of hundreds of volunteer organisations that have coordinated aid across Sudan during 21 months of fighting between the regular army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
El-Fasher, a city of some two million people which has been under RSF siege since May, has seen some of the fiercest fighting of the war as the army battles to keep its last foothold in the vast Darfur region of western Sudan.
