At least five killed in RSF shelling in Sudan’s Khartoum: Lawyers’ group

Al Jazeera  

The attack comes as the Sudanese army pushes to take full control of the capital. Paramilitary shelling on a mosque in eastern Khartoum has killed at least five people and injured dozens, a Sudanese pro-democracy lawyers’ group has said. The attack on Monday, which has been blamed on the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, targeted civilians during evening tarawih prayers at a mosque in the East Nile district of Khartoum, said the Emergency Lawyers network, which has been documenting abuses by both the RSF and the Sudanese Armed Forces. This is the second reported attack on civilians since the RSF lost central Khartoum, including the presidential palace, in a major government army offensive on Friday. Since April 2023, the military, led by army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, has been in an ongoing conflict with the RSF, headed by Burhan’s former deputy commander, Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo.
