26 civilians were killed and wounded in the city of Babanusa in the Sudanese state of West Kordofan, as violent battles continued between the army and the Rapid Support Forces for the fourth day in a row, amid a significant deterioration in the humanitarian conditions.
The Sudan Doctors Syndicate said in a statement: “The bloody clashes between the two sides led to the killing of at least 10 civilians and the injury of 16 others.”
The union pointed to “tragic conditions in the strategic city, which contains one of the largest military garrisons in the west of the country.”
The union explained that “all health facilities in the city are out of service amid great difficulties faced by medical personnel due to the continuous aerial and ground bombardment.”
The Rapid Support Forces published video clips showing their advance into the city and their control over a number of vital military and civilian areas. But media pages loyal to the army confirmed that it repelled the Rapid Support attacks.
The army and the Rapid Support share control over the Kordofan region, which has an estimated population of more than 8 million people and is considered the main center for livestock and petroleum in the country.
