The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in Sudan have said that the country’s military conducted an “air-bombing the French embassy” in the capital city.
In an extensive statement on X (formerly known as Twitter), the RSF claimed that the purported bombing resulted in “substantial damage to the facility”.
“The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) vehemently denounces the indiscriminate aerial attack on the French embassy,” it said.
“This ruthless act is a breach of international conventions, norms, and laws. We urgently call upon the international community to condemn this atrocity.”
Neither Sudan’s army nor France commented on the allegation.
The conflict, which has endured for six months, involving the RSF and the army, has led to the loss of 9,000 lives and the displacement of nearly six million individuals, as reported by the United Nations.
In April, a French citizen sustained injuries in an assault on a convoy, with both opposing factions pointing fingers at each other for the incident.
Simultaneously, the RSF announced on the previous day that they had eliminated over 500 soldiers in an assault on a military convoy in Omdurman, the twin city of Khartoum, which also included “volunteers recently recruited by the army”.
