The army’s bid to retake the capital from a paramilitary has led to fierce clashes and high civilian casualties.
Beirut, Lebanon – On December 9, an army air attack hit a fuel station in Sudan’s capital, Khartoum, killing at least 28 people and injuring scores.
The army said it was targeting fighters from the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), a paramilitary group that it has been at war with since April 2023.
Speaking weeks after the attack, Mohamed Kandasha, a medic in the area, remembers treating people with severe burns at a nearby hospital.
There were men, women and children among them, a symbol of the indiscriminate nature of the attacks committed by both sides in Sudan’s war.
“The RSF doesn’t care about civilians and neither does the army,” he told Al Jazeera.
