Deadly airstrikes in Nyala leave civilians in disarray
[SUDANTRIBUNE] Early on Thursday morning, Sudan
...a Moslem country located in the Horn of Africa. It is noted for its affinity for rule by ex- or current generals, its holy men, and for the oppression of the native Afro population by its Arab conquerors. South Sudan, populated mostly by the natives, split off from Sudan proper, which left North and South Darfur to be oppressed by the guys with turbans...

...KABOOM!...
s on Nyala, the capital of South Darfur state, causing casualties among civilians.

This marks the third time military aircraft have targeted the city since October 26, when the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) assumed full control.

The Sudanese army justifies these airstrikes as part of its efforts to destroy military equipment, including ammunition, rocket launchers, drones, and sophisticated communication systems, the RSF received via Emirati aircraft.

However,
women are made to be loved, not understood...
the RSF leadership vehemently denies these claims, stating that the army is deliberately targeting civilians in a bid to force them to flee.

In a statement, an RSF spokesperson expressed outrage at the airstrikes, stating, "The Burhan militia and the terrorist remnants of the former regime have bombed a number of residential neighbourhoods in Nyala, leading to the death and injury of dozens of innocent civilians and the destruction of homes and private property."

Eyewitnesses on the ground report that military aircraft dropped eight explosive barrels each in the neighbourhoods of the Airport, Riyadh, the vicinity of the 16th Infantry Division Command, as well as the museum south of the al-Wadi neighbourhood and the headquarters of the Sudanese Telecommunications Company "Sudatel." They also indicate that the ancient Nyala Mosque was damaged when a shell landed inside.

Video footage shared on social media by RSF loyalists highlights the widespread destruction caused by the aerial bombardment.

In December, many Nyala residents erupted into the streets to protest against the repeated airstrikes, calling on the international community to pressure the Sudanese army to cease its military operations in South Darfur.
