The Sudan Mosque DRONT stroke kills 78, Medic tells BBC

More than 70 people were killed after a drone strike at a mosque in the Darfur region in Sudan, a senior medical source told the BBC.

The attack on Friday in the city of El-Fashire has been charged with the Paravilian Rising Support Forces (RSF), but the group has not taken responsibility.

The RSF and the army have been involved in a fierce civil war for more than two years.

The Paramilitari are picking up a place as they fight for the seizure of full control of El -Fasher – the last army fortress in Darfur and the home of more than 300,000 civilians that have been trapped in battles.

A resident told the BBC that the drone struck during the morning prayers, killing dozens of people immediately.

The medical source said 78 were killed and about 20 were injured, but the process of extracting the bodies from the ruins of the building is still ongoing.

The BBC Verify has certified footage showing about 30 bodies wrapped in Schraifari and blankets next to the mosque located in the western part of the city.

This week, RSF launches an updated offensive of El Fasher, which has been besieging over a year. The reports say that this includes fierce attacks on Abu Shuk, a camp for displaced people near the city.

Satellite images suggest that RSF units now control much of the camp, according to the Jale University Humanitarian Studies Laboratory (HRL) that follows the wars.

According to the unit, satellite photos also show that RSF has entered the headquarters of the Joint Forces, a team of armed groups related to the Sudanese army.

The headquarters are located in a former UN Union as a critical defense line.

The BBC has checked footage showing RSF fighters inside the expansion complex, although it is not clear whether they have used full control.

These obvious achievements would put El-Fasher Airport and the Army Division Headquarters within the RSF direct scope.

HRL says El-Fasher will fall on RSF unless Sudanese military is receiving instant reinforcements.

Full capture of the RSF of the city would strengthen the group’s control over the western part of the country and strengthen de facto cleavage, with the army controlled north and east.

Sudanese analysts and activists fear that the paramilitary group will target the civilians who are still in the city, most of which belong to ethnic groups that see as its enemies.

On Friday, a report from the United Nations warned of “increasing the ethnic of conflict”, saying that both sides are avenged against people accused of collaboration with opposite parties.

But the UN and other international organizations have also documented a systematic RSF policy on ethnic cleansing against Nearabian communities in the territory they are conquering.

In a recent report, doctors of medical charity without borders said that RSF troops were “talking about plans to” clean El Fasher “on their Nearabic … Community.

RSF has previously denied such accusations, saying that it has nothing to do with “tribal conflicts.”
