All public medical institutions in the Sudanese capital have ceased their work. According to TASS with reference to the Al Arabiya TV channel, this was stated in the trade union of doctors in Sudan.
“All public hospitals in Khartoum have suspended their work,” the organization said. According to doctors, there is not enough oxygen equipment in medical institutions that continue to provide assistance to the victims.
“What is happening in the health sector is a crime against humanity,” the medics said, emphasizing that “the only solution to the humanitarian crisis can be a cessation of hostilities.”
The situation in Sudan escalated due to disagreements between army commander Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, who also leads the Sovereign Council, and the head of the rapid reaction forces (special forces) Mohammed Hamdan Dagalo (Hamidti), who is his deputy in this body.
The main contradictions between the two military structures are related to the question of the timing and methods of forming a unified armed forces of Sudan, as well as who should become the commander-in-chief of the army: a professional military man, as al-Burhan stands for, or an elected civilian president, as Dagalo insists. On April 15, clashes began between these two structures near the military base in the city of Merov and in the capital. Hundreds of people have died since the fighting began, according to the country’s health ministry.
