Khartoum, Sudan—Three civilians were killed Sunday in an artillery attack by paramilitaries on Omdurman, part of Greater Khartoum, a medical source told
AFP, two days after the army recaptured the capital’s presidential palace in a major symbolic victory.
Since it began, the war has been marked by mass atrocities against civilians, including bombs and artillery routinely hitting homes, markets and displacement camps. After a year and a half of humiliating army defeats, the tide seemed to turn late last year, when a military counteroffensive through central Sudan dislodged the RSF from key bases.
The military has since launched a clearing operation to push the RSF out of the city centre, on Saturday retaking several strategic state institutions including the central bank, state intelligence headquarters and the national museum. It has been unable to seize the North Darfur state capital El-Fasher — crucial to consolidating its hold on the vast western region — despite a 10-month siege.
