25 people drowned in the Nile River in Sudan’s Sennar state, local media reported, adding that most were women and children. The people were trying to escape Rapid Support Forces (RSF) fighters by boat. Sputnik brings you up-to-the-minute footage from the scene. Clashes between the Sudanese regular army and the RSF broke out in April in the capital of Khartoum and elsewhere in the country. Government forces accused the RSF of mutiny and launched airstrikes against their bases. The RSF claimed control of the presidential palace in Khartoum and the airports in Khartoum and Merowe, but the national army denied the presidential headquarters’ takeover and said it was bombing RSF bases near Khartoum.
