cairo, september 21 (xinhua) -- khartoum: sudanese non-governmental organization "sudan doctors network" issued a statement on the 21st saying that a conflict broke out between the sudanese armed forces and the sudan rapid support forces in el fasher, the capital of north darfur state, that day, killing 11 people, including 3 children, and injuring 17 others.

the statement said that el fasher has a population of more than 1 million and the continued conflict will inevitably lead to a humanitarian disaster. international organizations should exert pressure to prevent the escalation of the situation and provide humanitarian assistance to the residents of el fasher and the refugees taking refuge there.

a spokesman for un secretary-general guterres issued a statement on the 21st saying that guterres was deeply shocked by reports that sudan's rapid support forces launched a full-scale attack on el fasher, and stressed that "a ceasefire is an urgent task, both in el fasher and in other conflict areas in sudan."

since may 10 this year, the sudanese armed forces and local armed forces have been engaged in fierce fighting with the sudanese rapid support forces in el fasher over the control of north darfur, causing a large number of civilian casualties. currently, the sudanese rapid support forces have controlled the other four states in western darfur except north darfur.

on april 15, 2023, an armed conflict broke out between the sudanese armed forces and the sudan rapid support forces in the capital khartoum, and the fighting subsequently spread to other areas. the armed conflict, which lasted for more than a year, has caused the deaths of about 18,800 people in sudan and displaced more than 10.17 million people.
