Sudan Events \u2013 Agencies<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sudan on Saturday welcomed efforts to end the ongoing war in the country and attacks carried out by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) paramilitary group, while reaffirming its rejection of any foreign interference in its internal affairs, according to Anadolu Agency.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Sudanese government welcomes any regional or international efforts to help end the war, halt the terrorist attacks by the RSF on cities and infrastructure, and lift sieges on urban areas to prevent the repetition of tragedies and crimes against the Sudanese people,\u201d the U.S. State Department said in a statement.<\/p>\n

The statement followed a joint declaration by Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and the United States calling for a \u201chumanitarian truce\u201d in Sudan to enable swift access for aid across the country.<\/p>\n

The ministry reiterated its rejection of any \u201cinternational or regional intervention that does not respect Sudan\u2019s sovereignty, its legitimate institutions, and its right to defend its people and territory.\u201d<\/p>\n

It also expressed regret over the international community\u2019s failure to compel the RSF to implement UN Security Council Resolutions 2736 and 1591, lift the siege on Al-Fashir, alleviate the suffering of its citizens\u2014including the elderly, women, and children\u2014and allow humanitarian convoys to pass.<\/p>\n

Al-Fashir has witnessed intense fighting between the Sudanese army and the RSF since May 2024, despite international warnings about the risks of violence in a city that serves as a major humanitarian hub for the five states of Darfur.<\/p>\n

The RSF and the army have been engaged in a brutal struggle for power since April 2023, resulting in thousands of deaths and pushing Sudan into one of the world\u2019s worst humanitarian crises.<\/p>\n

According to the United Nations and local sources, more than 20,000 people have been killed and 15 million displaced. However, U.S.-based researchers estimate that the actual death toll may reach 130,000.<\/p>\n

A military source told Al Jazeera that the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) carried out drone strikes early this morning on several cities in the White Nile state in southern Sudan, including the state capital, Kosti.<\/p>\n

The source confirmed that the Sudanese army\u2019s air defenses, stationed with the 18th Infantry Division in Kosti, successfully shot down several drones targeting the cities of Rabak, Kosti, and Kenana.<\/p>\n

Some of the drones were reported to have targeted the Kenana army airbase, the headquarters of the 18th Infantry Division in Kosti, the Um Dabakir electrical substation in Rabak\u2014which is the largest of its kind in the country\u2014and fuel depots, before being intercepted by air defenses.<\/p>\n

Vital and strategic installations in Kosti have been repeatedly targeted by RSF drones.<\/p>\n

The Sudanese Sovereign Council described the attack as a \u201ccontinuing violation amid suspicious regional and international silence,\u201d adding that \u201cthis war is directed against the Sudanese people.\u201d<\/p>\n

In Al-Fashir, the capital of North Darfur in western Sudan, military sources told Al Jazeera that the RSF shelled residential neighborhoods with heavy artillery. The city has been under siege and facing clashes for over 500 days.<\/p>\n

Abbas Youssef, the Humanitarian Commissioner of North Darfur, accused the RSF of causing the forced displacement of Sudanese residents in Al-Fashir. He told Al Jazeera that \u201cthe RSF prevents food and humanitarian aid from entering the city, while daily shelling of IDP camps, shelters, and residential neighborhoods continues.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
