20 killed in paramilitary shelling on Abu Shouk camp in Sudan

At least 20 people were killed when Sudanese paramilitaries fired artillery at Abu Shouk displacement camp, a local committee in El-Fasher said on Tuesday.

News Center- Since April 15, 2023, Sudan has suffered from a civil war between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) under Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) under Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo (Hemedti), killing tens of thousands of people and displacing approximately 10 million people.

At least 20 people were killed when Sudanese paramilitaries fired artillery at Abu Shouk displacement camp located in El Fasher, capital of North Darfur State of Sudan, a local resistance committee in El-Fasher said on Tuesday.

“The information we have received so far on casualties among residents of Abu Shouk displacement camp is at least 20 killed and 32 wounded,” the local resistance committee said in a post on Facebook.

In the post, the committee blamed the deaths on the “deliberate shelling by the (RSF) militias on the camp's market and square”.

El-Fasher has been surrounded by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) since May to capture the last major Darfur city out of its control.
