Ethnic Cleansing in Dinder… Humanitarian Tragedy Caused by the Sudanese Army

---

Hundreds of civilians have been killed across various regions of Sudan, including in the Dinder area, over the past week, amid the army’s escalation of airstrikes in a conflict that has lasted nearly 18 months.

The Sudanese army has recently used its superior air power to regain control over some areas of the capital, Khartoum.

Amid accusations that Egypt is providing direct support, the army is attempting to regain momentum in the war.

The conflict in Sudan has sparked the largest displacement crisis worldwide and led to famine.

The Sudanese human rights group “Emergency Lawyers” reported that hundreds had been killed in similar attacks across the country. They did not specify the time frame for this death toll but stated that it demonstrates the “indifference of the armed forces to the protection of defenseless civilians.”

The “Emergency Lawyers” group added that the airstrike on Hassahisa killed or injured over 100 people on Monday. Hassahisa is a town in Al-Jazirah State, south of Khartoum.

The local emergency response committee stated that an airstrike the previous day on another market in the Kuma area of North Darfur State killed 61 people. UNICEF reported that among the victims were 13 children.

The army conducted a large-scale bombing campaign against civilians in the Dinder area, resulting in the deaths of many civilians, including women and children. These events raise deep concerns about the ongoing violence in Sudan, particularly in areas with diverse ethnic communities, where many view this assault as part of an escalating ethnic cleansing campaign in the region.

The Humanitarian Research Lab at Yale University in the United States, which monitors the war in Sudan, also reported that the army had carried out a major bombing campaign in multiple areas.

The army‘s advance in the capital, which began in late September, has led to casualties. Ridwan Nouisser, an expert on Sudanese affairs for the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, expressed concern over reports, some of which were posted on social media, of 70 young men being summarily executed by forces allied with the army in Bahri.
