The RSF has accused the SAF of conducting airstrikes on Tora market in North Darfur, resulting in over 100 fatalities. The UN has expressed grave concern over civilian safety amid escalating conflicts. The SAF has released a control map, showcasing territorial gains and a commitment to end militia actions, amid a humanitarian crisis impacting millions.
On March 26, the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) reported that the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) conducted airstrikes on the Tora market in North Darfur, resulting in significant casualties with over 100 deaths and many injuries. Despite these serious allegations, the Sudanese army has not yet responded to the claims, as indicated by reports from independent media sources.
The United Nations, represented by spokesperson Stephane Dujarric, expressed deep concern regarding the ongoing attacks on civilians, referencing both the airstrike and an artillery attack on a mosque in Khartoum by the RSF. Such statements underline the grave humanitarian situation in the region amidst escalating violence.
In a further development, the SAF publicly released a control map, delineating its territory along with RSF-held areas. The SAF’s statement proclaimed its commitment to eliminating militias to restore security, asserting that it continues to receive support from the Sudanese populace in its military operations.
The map indicated regions fully under SAF control, marked in green, covering states such as Northern, River Nile, and Blue Nile, while RSF territories, marked in red, include West, South, and East Darfur. Since the beginning of 2024, the Sudanese Armed Forces have made significant territorial gains, especially in Omdurman, changing the conflict dynamics favorably towards the army.
The nearly two-year conflict has resulted in a staggering death toll, displacing over 15 million people and precipitating one of the most severe humanitarian crises globally. With the collapse of Sudan’s healthcare system, verifying casualty figures has become increasingly challenging.
The ongoing conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces and Rapid Support Forces has escalated dramatically, culminating in significant civilian casualties and a severe humanitarian crisis. The recent airstrikes in North Darfur highlight the perilous situation for civilians and underline the contested control of territories within Sudan. As the conflict nears the two-year mark, the implications of this violence continue to resonate, exacerbating the humanitarian plight of millions.
