A fight between the army and paramilitaries in Sudan has taken the lives of about 200 people and injured 1,800. It left hospitals harmed and medical supplies and food in short supply on Monday, three days after the urban warfare.
A weeks-long power struggle blew up into mortal brutality Saturday between the forces of two generals who captured power in a 2021 coup, Sudan’s army head Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and his deputy, Mohamed Hamdan Daglo, who orders the powerful paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF).

Experts say the struggle in the capital of the repeatedly unsteady country is unparalleled and could be extended, in spite of zonal and global calls for a truce as envoys mobilize.
Struggles have also taken place over the vast country, and there are fears of a zonal deluge.
Frightened natives of the capital are going through the last and sacred days of Ramadan watching from their windows as tanks go through the streets, buildings shake, and smoke from fires set off by the struggling hangs in the air.
The conflict has witnessed air strikes, artillery, and heavy gunfire. Those forced to set out face queues for bread and petrol at channels that are not shielded. Natives are also facing a power blackout.

On Monday, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres again referred to Sudan’s opposing parties to “swiftly capture hostilities.” He alerted that further escalation” could be destructive for the country and the area.
