Civilian death toll tops 150 in Sudan Armed Forces attacks so far this month
Nyala air raid yesterday added 40 victims to the tally
At least 150 civilians have died in bomb and missile attacks attributed to the Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) within the past two weeks, including 40 in Nyala yesterday.
A medical source told AFP from Nyala yesterday, “Forty civilians have been killed in an air strike that hit two markets and a number of the city's neighborhoods.”
An eyewitness, speaking with Darfur 24, said that aircraft bombed the Malja Market in the north of the city, killing a large number of civilians: “After we heard the sound of the bombing, I went to the Malja Market and saw a number of citizens and tea sellers who were killed as a result of the bombing.”
In addition to the strike in the market, Darfur 24 and Radio Dabanga reported that bombs fell in several other places, including the High Dam neighborhood north of the Congo Cemeteries, the airport, and the popular market in the city’s south.
