Many Sudanese civilians welcomes the army as an editor, as it advances throughout the capital, Khurroum, to drop the semi -military rapid support forces (RSF).

But activists on Earth say that both sides are increasingly resorting to brutal tactics, which increase the humanitarian crisis.

On February 1, Paliphone artillery In a crowded market in Omndorman, killing at least 56 people.

After a week, RSF Two local relief workers were detained In addition to one of the last hospitals operating in Khartoum, located in the marginalized “southern belt”, where ethnic minorities live from the oceanic areas in Sudan mostly.

Al -Jazeera was unable to verify the fate of the three people.

Meanwhile, the army faces a more solid resistance than RSF in the center of Khartoum and in the Nile Charm (East Nile) area. Activists on the ground said that his reaction was to impose a partial blockade in the city’s areas last week.

“Now, the city is besieged … and the only way to get out is heading west to Darfur, but this road is targeted by [army] “A local activist and a human volunteer resides in the east of Khartoum said.”

“Many families have been killed in an attempt to go out this way,” they told Al Jazerera.

Sweet return and bitter

Since April 2023, RSF and the army have been imprisoned in a brutal struggle over the country’s control.

The conflict was born “the largest humanitarian crisis in the world”, with tens of thousands of people believed to have died of armed violence and about 12.5 million from their homes.

Throughout the country, RSF confiscated the lands of people and homes after the expulsion of indigenous societies and population.

In the wake of the army’s progress in Khartoum in the north and Ustandan – two of three cities formed the national capital area in Khartoum – thousands of RSF fighters that they occupied and fled to Darfur gave their traditional stronghold.

“The army has gradually returned to their homes in Omndorman,” said Montasir*, a local activist and a relief worker, on the island, who gradually returns to their homes to their homes in Omndorman.

However, he pointed out that many of them remain transverse because their homes – sometimes in the entire neighborhoods – were damaged or destroyed greatly.

“Many people lost their homes and everything inside their homes was looted [by the RSF]. Moreover, there is no water or electricity in their neighborhoods and they have no internet … In some cases, the army still has to remove the bodies from the streets.

Some flee in fear of revenge

Thousands of civilians have escaped in the last weeks of fear that the army and its allied fighters would kill them, says activists on the ground.

According to what was reported, the army targets local relief workers, paramedics and people who see that they are originally from West or South Sudan, according to rights groups and activists and Victims of attacks.

Hundreds of thousands of people from the Western or South tribes were born and grew up in Khartoum after their parents fled the destroyed wars in southern Sudan, the Nuba and Darfur mountains during the nineties and Alvin.

“Fear on the faces of many people is very clear. They are very afraid and they are not entitled [Khartoum]Augaris, a relief worker in East Khartoum, said.

“Yes, they were born here, but they have a feeling that this place is not for him. If you are from the north or the east [of Sudan]”You feel more right to obtain Khartoum at the present time,” Augaris told Al -Jazeera.

She explained that many people rapidly escaped or prepared to flee from Khartoum after they saw the army committing what she described as “massacres” and “ethnic cleansing” in a Madiani valley, the capital of Jesira state, the bread basket in Sudan.

When the army -backed fighters captured the city last month, They systematically targeted Kanabi Agricultural camps that attract exploited workers from West and South Sudan.

Hundreds of people were killed based on doubts that they supported RSF because of their ethnic origins, according to the victims, local observers and the leadership of the army, which blamed the work of “individuals” for violations.

According to the United Nations Office for Human Rights (OHCHR), the army -backed combat groups have Non -judicially killed 18 people Depending on their perceived background while restoring Khartoum north.

Army spokesman, Nabil Abdullah, denies these allegations.

“These accusations are not correct,” he said to Al -Jazeera. “The Sudanese Armed Forces are completely committed to supporting Sudan laws, war laws and international decisions.”

Raids

Over the past three weeks, RSF fighters looted the main markets and raided the homes to steal electronics, gold and criticism before withdrawing from the areas that the army has regained.

With the army now threatening the entry of Sharq El-Nile, the RSF is terrifying in the province by raiding homes to confiscate the tools of money, gold and the Internet Starlink, which allows civilians to access the Internet online when the network service is not available.

Musab*, a local relief worker, said that RSF fighters stormed his home on February 3 and assaulted all men.

They confiscated mobile phones and Starlink devices in a clear attempt to store them, but Musab has hidden in time.

In addition, Musab says that RSF knows that local relief workers are receiving money from abroad – either from Sudanese diaspora or relief agencies – and they are constantly trying to steal them.

“RSF is looking for local relief workers because they know that we are receiving some money. So they are looking for us and trying to reach our accounts.”

Al -Jazeera sent written questions to the press office of RSF, asking this to respond to the accusations that he is plundering and attacking civilians as the army’s progress.

No response from the press office was received by the time of publication.

Musab insists that RSF violations in Sharq El-Nile are unbearable.

“Every day, I move from one house to another. He said to Al -Jazeera:” I can never stay in one place, so I can evade them. “

He said: “I am more afraid of RSF from the army at this time.”
