Nyala University professor Mohamed Abdel Aziz said that Nyala, capital of South Darfur, is one of the most affected cities after Khartoum state. The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) continue to besiege Hasahisa camp in Zalingei, Central Darfur, for the third week in a row.

He told Radio Dabanga that battles and shelling between the 16th Infantry Division of the Sudan Armed Forces and paramilitary RSF displaced a large number of residents and left entire neighbourhoods deserted.

A lack of electricity, water, and internet is also affecting the work of health services and pausing financial transfers, along with making information sharing difficult, according to Aziz. Electricity and water has been cut off for four months in Nyala's neighbourhoods.in Sudan's already war-torn western region. The lawyers warned of more tribal violence in Darfur as the United Arab Emirates allegedly continues to send arms to the militia.

He also called on the international community to intervene immediately.Artillery shelling continued in large parts of Khartoum and Omdurman on Monday, while the amount of shelling from the Karari military base decreased.
