The chaos unleashed in the struggle for power in Sudan has claimed until today 330 deaths and 3,200 wounded.

Khartoum.- Hospital sources confirmed the collapse of the health system in this capital complicated by the lack of electricity and drinking water, essential for treating the wounded and the functioning of the morgues.

The statistics, endorsed by the World Health Organization, circulated in parallel with an ominous statement from the Army according to which there are no negotiations because the conflict will only end with the defeat of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) of General Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo.

Earlier, the RSF issued a statement in which they assured their rival, General Abdel Fattah al Burhan, president of the Sovereign Transitional Council (CST) that they know where he is hiding.

The CST is the name adopted by the military junta ruling Sudan of which Hamdan Dagalo was vice-president until his rebellion a week ago.

Although army spokesmen determined a decrease in the intensity of the fighting in this capital, the main scene of the conflict, artillery booms and explosions of aviation bombs can still be heard, in addition to heavy rifle and machine gun fire.

Al Burhan has the loyalty of the Army and the air force; the RSF, skilled in irregular warfare, have more mobility, have heavy machine guns mounted on vehicles, and seek shelter in residential areas to shield themselves from heavy weapons attacks and fighter-bombers.

Thus, the doors remain open to the persistence of the conflict, behind which, regional and international forces are moving, aware of the importance of Sudan’s geographical location and its important gold deposits, sources of Hamdan Gagalo’s fortune. (PL)
