Sudanese army: hundreds of dead and wounded among the rebels
On Friday, the Sudanese military released a statement saying:
After its failed attempts to seize power by force in the country’s capital, the rebel militia attempted to attack the leadership of the (16th) Infantry Division, Nyala. Our forces confronted them with force and caused heavy losses to the enemy, hundreds of dead and wounded, and the destruction of dozens of armed vehicles and the elimination of a large number of snipers, and the rest of them are hunted down. Our forces struck rebel militia gatherings in southern Omdurman, central Khartoum and Bahri, killing and injuring dozens of rebels and destroying a number of armed vehicles. Large numbers of rebels fled to the west of the country in civilian vehicles stolen from citizens and loaded with loot. The rebels try to compensate for this flight by trying to recruit young people in the capital in exchange for incentives with large sums of money. . The rebel militia continues to practice its terrorist behavior of terrorizing citizens, forcibly seizing their homes, looting their property and systematically sabotaging public facilities. Our forces are carefully monitoring enemy movements inside the capital, and we confirm that they are fully prepared to deal decisively with observed enemy intentions.
Witnesses said on Friday airstrikes targeted areas in eastern Khartoum and they heard the sound of anti-aircraft weapons being used by the Rapid Support Forces.
The Bahri and Eastern Nile regions, across the Nile from Khartoum, were subject to air raids last night and Friday morning.
