Sudan group: 3 killed in fighting between army, paramilitary

A Sudanese doctors’ group said at least three people were killed and dozens more injured in clashes that started on April 15 between the country’s army and powerful paramilitary.
The fighting comes after months of escalating tensions between the generals and years of political unrest after an October 2021 military coup.

In a statement, the Sudan Doctors’ Committee said two civilians were killed at the country’s airport and another man was shot to death in the state of North Kordofan. The statement did not specify how the two people had died at the airport, which was a flashpoint in the recent violence, with the two forces battling to control it.

The group added that dozens more were injured around the country, with some in unstable condition. The clashes began on April 15 morning, with both sides blaming the other for initiating the violence.
