Sudanese paramilitaries killed at least 17 civilians in the northern part of the capital Tuesday, as the UN warned that the fight between two opposing generals could sink the country.
Witnesses claimed shelling by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces in Omdurman's Karary region, which has seen heavy confrontations between the RSF and the regular army.
According to AFP, "17 civilians were killed" in the attack, which occurred five months into the fight between the army led by General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and the RSF led by his former deputy, Mohamed Hamdan Daglo.
