The Turkish Defense Ministry denounced that its C-130, which was heading for the Wadi Sayedna base in Omdurman, had received several shots without giving further details about the author of the attack. “Our plane landed safely. Despite no injuries among our personnel, the necessary checks have been carried out on the plane,” he explains. Both the armed forces and paramilitaries insisted members of the rival group fired the shots.

In addition, the fighting has led to a mass exodus from the country, both of Sudanese citizens and of thousands of foreigners left behind in Arab territory, who have been ordered to be evacuated by governments around the world. The UN, which suspended its activities after the deaths of five humanitarian workers, warned it could no longer provide aid in this area where “50,000 children suffer from acute malnutrition”. He also warned that the situation could be “worse” after learning that the attacks on several prisons in the country have led to the escape of thousands of prisoners, many of whom are imprisoned for serious crimes. The figure, while difficult to count due to public disorder, is estimated at some 25,000 inmates who have left prisons, according to the Arab chain Al Jazeera. Bombs and shots The paramilitaries, who have spoken in favor of a humanitarian truce – which serves to evacuate civilians – have called for an immediate end to the violence. “We call on the international community to hold the coup leaders accountable for their actions,” they said. But bombs and shots fired by both sides, as denounced by army leaders and the RSF itself, continued this Friday in the capital, Khartoum, and in the Darfur region, in the east of the country.
