Deadly Power Struggle Sparks Chaos Across Sudan
A brutal fight for control between army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and his deputy Mohamed Hamdan Daglo, who leads the notorious Rapid Support Forces (RSF), has erupted into violent clashes nationwide. The conflict features air strikes, artillery bombardments, heavy gunfire, and spreading lawlessness.
Diplomatic Convoys Attacked, Capital in Terror
In a shocking turn, a US diplomatic convoy came under fire, while the EU ambassador was targeted at home. Aid organisations report rampant looting of medical supplies. As Ramadan reaches its most sacred days, residents of Khartoum cower in fear. Tanks rumble through the streets, buildings tremble under shelling, and thick smoke from raging fires blots out the sky.
Humanitarian Nightmare Worsens
The death toll has soared to at least 185, with over 1,800 wounded — and numbers are believed far higher, the UN warns. Misinformation flourishes online, leaving civilians desperate for reliable updates about attacks, looting, and safe routes amid the chaos.
Food shortages are critical as grocery stores struggle to restock. Many injured cannot reach hospitals, which themselves are under constant shelling. Sixteen hospitals have shut down, while those still open face severe shortages of medical staff, water, and food.
Aid Blocked as Crisis Deepens
The Red Cross and WHO urgently call for humanitarian aid corridors. Yet assistance is stalled. Thousands of volunteers stand ready, but the relentless fighting traps them, leaving Sudan’s civilian population trapped in an escalating catastrophe.
