174 Civilians Killed and Hundreds More Wounded in Five Days of Fighting in Sudan

Sudan is facing a deadly conflict as two military commanders battle for control of the resource-rich but impoverished nation. According to the Sudan Doctors’ Syndicate, at least 174 civilians have been killed and hundreds more wounded in the five days of fighting.

The fighting has been concentrated in the capital city of Khartoum and other areas, with airstrikes, shelling, and gunfights reported. Despite a planned 24-hour ceasefire, the battle between the two rival groups has continued.

The conflict has raised fears of a civil war that could derail Sudan’s hopes of democracy and threaten the stability of surrounding countries. The real death toll is expected to be much higher as bodies still lay on the streets in major cities.

The international community has expressed concern over the situation in Sudan, with the United Nations Security Council calling for an immediate end to the violence. The African Union has also urged the two sides to cease hostilities and return to the negotiating table.

The conflict in Sudan has already caused immense suffering for civilians, and the international community is calling for an end to the violence before it spirals into a full-blown civil war.
