A paramilitary group and the Sudanese army engaged in brutal hostilities that left the country in a dreadful state and resulted in deaths, major unrest, and damage to public spaces in densely populated areas. These clashes featured tank warfare in Khartoum’s crowded neighbourhoods and fighter jet attacks.
The destruction inflicted by the conflict between the Sudanese Army and a paramilitary organisation known as the Rapid Support Forces is depicted in a recent film shot in the north of Sudan’s capital.
Hassana Al-Ghanzi posted the video to Twitter along with a caption in Arabic that, when translated into English, reads “Bahri.”

A city in Khartoum State, Khartoum North, also known as Khartoum Bahri, is located north of Khartoum City, the Sudanese capital.
As many as 427 people have been killed, hospitals and other services have been disrupted, and residential areas have been turned into battle zones as a result of the violence that broke out between the army and the RSF paramilitary group in Khartoum, Sudan, on April 15. In the metropolis of Khartoum, millions of people are still stranded in their houses and are out of food and water.
Over 3,700 people have been hurt in these skirmishes, according to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.
A US-brokered cease-fire in Sudan appears to be holding in part, but the UN’s special envoy for Sudan warned on Tuesday that there is no indication that the warring sides are prepared to engage in real negotiations.
According to ambassador Volker Perthes, this implied “that both think that securing a military victory over the other is possible.” “This calculation was incorrect.”
Antonio Guterres, secretary-general of the UN, called the bloodshed and disarray in Sudan “heartbreaking.” According to Guterres, the power battle imperils Sudan’s future, poses a risk to years of agony, and could halt growth for decades.
From Khartoum, the UN relocated hundreds of employees and their families to Port Sudan.
The UN intends to construct a base in Port Sudan to carry on its operations in the nation, where roughly 16 million people—or one-third of the populace—needed humanitarian assistance even before the conflict started.
