Iran PressAfrica: Sudan has been in a civil conflict since April 15, pitting the regular army against the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces.

At least 11 people were killed and many others wounded in air strikes on Sunday in a southern neighborhood of Khartoum, Sudan's capital. 

"At about 7:15 am (0515 GMT), military aircraft bombarded the Qouro market area," said the local resistance committee, previously known for organizing pro-democracy protests and now involved in humanitarian aid during the conflict, reported that military aircraft bombed the Qouro market.

Brutal fighting erupted in Khartoum, the Sudanese capital, on April 15 and swiftly escalated in different parts of the country. The ongoing fighting is pitting the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) against the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), the paramilitary group.

Both sides have accused each other of initiating the conflict.

Big differences had emerged between the SAF and the RSF, particularly regarding the latter's integration into the army as stipulated in a framework agreement signed between military and civilian leaders on Dec. 5, 2022, Xinhua reported.
