Controlling the city gives the RSF a strategic advantage to win the Darfur Capital El-Fasher, located 400 km west.
The battle in Al Nahud, the Sudanian city of Al Nahud, a strategic city in the West Kordofan province that serves as a gateway to the Darfur region, killed 19 people and left 37 injured.
Local sources told Al Jazeera that the Paramilitary Quick Support Forces (RSF), which telegram declared in a telegram that it had “freed” Al Nahud from the Sudanese Army (SAF) on Thursday, had rampaged the neighborhood and looted markets, houses and cars.
Al Jazeera understands that doctors, journalists and police officers are among those killed for overcoming the city that SAF held since the start of a conflict that has killed tens of thousands and uprooted over 12 million people.
According to the United Nations on Thursday, fighting between the pairs has become a priority for both the RSF and the SAF as the intensification in Darfur, where 542 people have been killed in the past three weeks alone.
The RSF is doubling Darfur after losing Khartoum last month to seize Elfascher, the capital of the region located in the hands of the army, located 400 kilometers (250 miles) west of Arnahod, after Khartoum lost Khartoum last month.
Recent violence in refugee camps near El Fasher and Zamzam and Abu Shuq have led hundreds of thousands of people to escape the desert (37 miles) into the town of Tawira.
As the campaign continued in Darfur, the paramilitary groups once again approached Khartoum, and within a week they fired the presidential palace in a second attack on the capital.
On Saturday, the RSF attacked the Army General Command Headquarters in Khartoum.
Volker Turk, the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, commented on the extrajudicial enforcement carried out by both Darfur’s deaths and Khartoum province, saying on Thursday that “horror in Sudan doesn’t know the boundaries.”
The SAF conflict led by Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan and RSF’s Mohamed Hamdan “Hemedti” Dagalo divides Sudan into two, with the army shaking north and east, with the RSF controlling most of Darfur and parts of the South.
