The artillery of the paramilitaries of the rapid support forces (FSR) struck the presidential palace of Sudan on Thursday in the center of Khartoum, said a source of the army, in the second attack of this type in one week.
The FSR, at war with the army for two years, have used “long -range artillery“Since their position in Al-Salha, located south of Omdurman, the twin city of Khartoum, said this source to AFP under the cover of anonymity. No victim has been reported immediately.
On Saturday, the FSR had struck the seat of the general army command in the center of Khartoum, also using long -range artillery fire, according to a military source. These attacks arise a few weeks after the army rejected its paramilitary rivals from the center of Khartoum, which they had taken control at the start of the war in April 2023.
-During a large military offensive in March, the army regained control of the presidential palace, the airport and other strategic areas of the capital.
But the FSR still hang on to the positions they keep in the south and west of Omdurman. Since April 2023, the war in Sudan has made tens of thousands of deaths, uprooted 13 million people and caused a major humanitarian crisis.
The conflict has in fact divided the country into two, the army holding the center, the east and the north, and the paramilitaries controlling almost all of the Darfur, in western Sudan, and certain parts of the South.
