PORT SUDAN
: A Sudanese network of
volunteer rescuers
said on Sunday the

carried out an
air strike
a day earlier on a marketplace in
Khartoum
, leaving 23 people dead.
The market is near the main camp in the capital of the paramilitary
Rapid Support Forces

civil war
that has killed tens of thousands of people.
"Twenty-three people were confirmed dead and more than 40 others wounded" and taken to hospital after "military air strikes on Saturday afternoon on the main market" in southern Khartoum, the youth-led
Emergency Response Rooms
