Khartoum morgue is overcrowded with corpses.. Sudan: 70 killed in Wadasheeb village in Rapid Support Forces attacks

The death toll from the ongoing attacks by the Rapid Support Forces on the village of Wad Ashab in Al-Jazeera State since Tuesday has risen to 70, while the emergency room in southern Khartoum warned of the overcrowding of the morgue of Bashayer Hospital with corpses, indicating that at least 200 people have been killed in the area during the past two months.

The Chamber revealed that the morgue of Bashayer Hospital in the area is overcrowded with a number of bodies waiting for their families to receive them, noting that the neighborhoods south of the belt are witnessing a terrible deterioration in health services and a lack of medicines for chronic and life-saving diseases.

Dozens killed in Wada'sheeb village

On Thursday, the “Call of the Middle” platform denounced the continued siege of the “Rapid Support Forces” of the village of Wad’ashib, east of Al-Jazeera State, which resulted in dozens of civilian deaths and injuries.

Forces led by Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo “Hemedti” attacked the village of Wadashib on Tuesday and Wednesday, killing 42 people by shooting them, bringing the death toll to 70 on Thursday, in addition to looting and terrorizing the residents and imposing a tight siege on them. The attacking forces also forced women, children and the elderly out of their homes, forcing them to gather on the banks of the Blue Nile River in poor health and environmental conditions.

The attack by the Rapid Support Forces extended to the villages of Al-Takla Rafaa, Bayda and Al-Qariqrit in Al-Jazeera, where all citizens were forcibly displaced after their private property was looted.
The platform pointed out that the residents of the Shabarga administrative unit east of Wad Madani city are living in extremely tragic conditions after the Rapid Support Forces destroyed the solar energy systems for water wells, in addition to preventing citizens from leaving the area, which is now suffering from a shortage of food and a lack of life-saving medicines.

She warned of the spread of diseases in Al-Shabarqa and the "Rapid Support" intention to dry up the area of all food and medicine and besiege its people, which created a humanitarian disaster no less than the one that befell the city of Al-Hilaliya and other besieged villages in the island.

Since October 20, the Rapid Support Forces have been carrying out campaigns described by the Resistance Committees as “retaliatory” on the villages and cities of Al-Jazeera, in response to the joining of the leader of the Rapid Support Forces, Abu Aqla Kikil, to the Sudanese army, which resulted in the killing of hundreds of citizens and the displacement of tens of thousands from their areas.

Meanwhile, the Sudanese army was able, on Thursday, to retake the town of Al-Lakandi, south of Sennar State, from the grip of the “Rapid Support Forces,” as part of extensive military operations witnessed by the state, as the army seeks to liberate the city of Singa, which is the last major city under the control of the support forces in the southeast of the country.

A military source who spoke to Al-Quds Al-Arabi said that the forces of the Fourth Infantry Division of the army, coming from the Blue Nile region, supported by the mobilized (volunteer recruits), recaptured the town of Al-Lakandi - south of Singa - while Hemeti's forces retreated towards the town of Karkoj.

He explained that the liberation of Al-Lakandi and the movement of the Fourth Division forces northward will tighten the noose on the Rapid Support Forces present in Singa, which have been subjected to violent attacks carried out by the army from several other axes over the past few days.

The army launched extensive ground operations to retake the capital of Sennar State - Singa - and was able to make progress on the eastern axis and impose its control over a number of strategic sites after clashes with the "Rapid Support" that ended with their retreat and inflicting losses in lives and military equipment.

The army took full control of the “Al-Bardana” Bridge and the “8” Bridge east of Singa city, and the day before yesterday it confronted an attempt to retake those sites by the Rapid Support Forces, as the army expanded in the village of Mina, north of the “8” Bridge, with the aim of securing its rear from any attempt to encircle it by the Rapid Support Forces.

Other field sources reported that 6 conscripts from the “Al-Baraa Bin Malik Brigade” supporting the army were killed and others were injured as a result of a mortar shell accidentally exploding in the city of Sennar, southeast of Sudan.

For the third time in a week, drones belonging to the Rapid Support Forces targeted Atbara Airport in River Nile State, northern Sudan.

Local residents told Al-Quds Al-Arabi that in the early morning hours they heard explosions and the sounds of anti-aircraft missiles that confronted all the marches.

In the capital, Khartoum, battles continued on the Ombada axis, west of Omdurman, and the Khartoum Bahri axis, where the army imposed control over controlling points, according to a field source.

The source said that liberating the entire city, delivering supplies, and linking forces with the Signal Corps south of Khartoum still requires fierce battles despite the short distance due to Hemeti's forces being fortified in tall buildings and widely deployed in residential neighborhoods.

The Khartoum government accused the Rapid Support Forces of storming the “Siyal Al-Faki Saad” area in the east of the state, which resulted in looting all the residents’ property, assaulting them and forcing them to evacuate the area. It indicated that the residents were displaced on foot for 3 days until they reached the Wadhsona area east of the Nile.

In El Fasher, western Sudan, the army's 6th Infantry Division in El Fasher said the city was 80% calm on Wednesday compared to previous days.

Rapid Support bombs the city

The division indicated on Wednesday evening that the Rapid Support Forces had randomly shelled the city without causing any damage, concluding that the situation was under control and our forces were advancing on all combat fronts. On Thursday, eyewitnesses said that the city witnessed a cautious calm while warplanes carried out air strikes targeting Rapid Support Forces positions in the eastern neighborhoods. Meanwhile, the Rapid Support Forces artillery shelled several areas in the city.
Officers in the joint force told Al-Quds Al-Arabi that they carried out a qualitative operation outside the city on Wednesday evening, which led to the destruction of combat vehicles and the capture of others belonging to the Rapid Support Forces that intended to participate in the battles of Al-Fasher.

The spokesman for the Joint Force of Armed Movements, Major Ahmed Hussein, revealed that the army and the joint force carried out an advanced qualitative operation that trapped the Rapid Support Forces in a tight ambush, which led to the destruction of a number of their bases and inflicted heavy losses in their ranks.

In press statements, he confirmed that the Rapid Support Forces were unable to take over the city of El Fasher, noting that 153 attacks carried out by the Rapid Support Forces were repelled, its hard power was destroyed, and most of its field leaders were killed.

Clashes escalated in El Fasher between the army and the armed movements supporting it, the Rapid Support Forces, and the allied Arab tribal militias, which are seeking to control it through intensive attacks that began on May 2.
