Sudan was bombed yet again on November 5 killing over twenty people.
The explosive hit a market in the suburbs of Sudan’s capital city of Khartoum.
A statement from the committee for pro-democracy lawyers revealed that shells hit the market in Omdurman during an intense fire exchange between the two sides.
Further the committee stated that this attack came a day after another hit on Saturday, November 4 which killed fifteen civilians.
“More than 20 civilians have been killed and others have been wounded,” said the committee stated as reported by AFP.
Notably, this is the latest bloodshed in the fighting since April this year between the forces of army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and his former deputy Mohamed Hamdan Daglo, who commands the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).

Likewise, the committee which keeps track of rights violations during the conflict and civilian victims noted that the immediate previous attacks targeted houses in Khartoum.
Also, Omdurman one of the largest capital cities in Sudan has repeatedly been the site of fierce battles between the two sides.
Although most of the fighting was previously contained to the capital and the western region of Darfur, witnesses confirm that the attacks have also spread to areas south of Khartoum.
Sudan Six-Month-Old War
Similarly, almost 250 days later into the war, Sudan citizens remain trapped in a power battle between the two generals.
According to a conservative estimate by the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data project at least 9,000 civilians have been killed and 5.6 million forced to flee their homes.
Aid groups and medics have repeatedly warned that the real toll exceeds recorded figures, with many of those wounded and killed never reaching hospitals or morgues.
However, while the capital, Khartoum, continues to be ravaged by savage internecine warfare, the world’s attention is gradually shifting elsewhere.

In a statement late last month, United Nations Under-Secretary-General Martin Griffiths said the Sudan war was the one of the worst nightmares to humanitarian community.
“One of the worst humanitarian nightmares in recent history,” said Griffiths.
He emphasized the horrific reports of rape and sexual violence and asserted that the country has been engulfed in chaos.
