Paramilitary group attacks an open market in Sudan, killing 54 people and wounding at least 158

Cairo Associated Press — An attack on an open market in the Sudanese city of Omdurman by a paramilitary group fighting against the country’s military killed some 54 people and wounded many more, health authorities said Saturday. The attack by the Rapid Support Forces on the Sabrein Market also wounded at least 158 others, the Health Ministry said in a statement. “It constitutes a blatant violation of international humanitarian law.” Sudan’s Doctors Syndicate condemned the RSF’s attack. The conflict in Sudan started in April 2023 when simmering tensions between the leaders of the military and the RSF exploded into open fighting in the capital, Khartoum, and other cities across the sprawling northeastern African country.
