Horrific Scene: Multiple Deaths During Prayer Session in Sudan
In the western region of Darfur, Sudan, the city of El Fasher has been under siege by paramilitary units for nearly 18 months. This conflict has taken a devastating turn, with a reported bombing of a mosque during morning prayers on Friday.
El Fasher, located in the Tawila region, is near Chad, the Central African Republic, South Sudan, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. It is approximately 200 miles from Saudi Arabia and the Nile, and Port Sudan, and is near the Red Sea. The city is also close to Eritrea and Ethiopia.
According to reports, a missile was fired into the mosque, resulting in at least 84 deaths, including several women and children. Another local aid group, The Emergency Response Rooms, reported a toll of 75 deaths.
The paramilitary units that opened fire on the mosque in El Fasher during morning prayers are not specified in the provided search results, and their affiliation with Sudanese forces is therefore unknown.
This tragic incident comes at a time when the region is already grappling with a humanitarian crisis. The siege has involved bombing neighborhoods where tens of thousands of hunger-stricken civilians are sheltering.
The city of Khartoum, the capital of Sudan, has not been directly affected by the conflict in El Fasher. However, the ongoing violence in Darfur has raised concerns about the stability of the region and the wellbeing of its people.
This is a developing story, and more information is expected to emerge in the coming days. Our thoughts are with the families of the victims and the people of El Fasher during this difficult time.
