A cruel civil war is raging in Sudan – of which hardly any news reaches us. What’s going on locally? Pediatrician Ibrahim Abdallah Khatir Shaib lives in El Fasher. He warns of a dramatic escalation.
There has been war in the country for over a year Sudan. Two rival generals and their armies are fighting for power: Sudan’s regular armed forces under the command of de facto President General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan. And the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), which obey his former deputy, Lieutenant General Mohamed Hamdan Daglo, known as Hemeti. Their conflict over questions of power escalated when the RSF was to be integrated into the army.
