Sudanese paramilitaries, RSF, demand civilians evacuate homes in Khartoum’s south amid intense clashes between rival generals
Much of the fighting has occurred in densely populated neighbourhoods of Khartoum, pushing 1.7 million residents to flee and forcing the millions who remain to shelter from the crossfire in their homes, rationing water and electricity.
Hundreds of residents were being evicted from southern Khartoum's Jabra neighbourhood, according to residents. Jabra and the nearby area of Sahafa are home to the army artillery corps as well as an RSF base used by Dagalo. "They told us this is a military zone now and they don't want civilians around," resident Nasser Hussein told AFP.The RSF has been accused of rampant looting and of forcibly evicting people from their homes since the conflict began on April 15.
Along with Khartoum, some of the worst violence has been in the conflict-scarred region of Darfur, where allegations of war crimes have sparked a new investigation by the International Criminal Court.
