In Sudan, at least 22 people were killed when the rebel paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) attacked the city of al-Fashir, a pro-democracy activist group said on Saturday, the worst toll after weeks of stalemate on that front in the country’s civil war. The city is the national army’s last remaining position inthe Darfur region of Sudan and a key front in the war with the RSF that has turned Sudan into the world’s worst humanitarian crisis. The activist group said it had counted 22 bodies and thecasualty toll was expected to rise. The passports were recovered in Omdurman, north of Khartoum, which was recently retaken from the RSF by the Sudanese national army. Some of this support reportedly includes thermobaric bombs being dropped on various targets by drones.
