Sudan’s paramilitary Rapid Support Forces battled the army outside the central city of Wad Madani on Saturday, pressing an attack that has opened a new front in the eight-month-old war and forced thousands to flee, Reuters reported.
Arab News confirmed that Paramilitary forces established a base on Sunday in the formerly safe city and aid hub of Wad Madani in Sudan.
According to the United Nations, at least 14,000 people have fled the Wadi Madani area so far, and a few thousand have already reached other cities.
UN figures also add that over 5.4 million people are internally displaced, while about 1.3 million have fled abroad.
