Fighting in Magenis leaves behind a number of causalities and properties on fire!
Magenis, Khartoum, PR, MP 05 Jan. 2021
At least 30 people killed and many others wounded in a fresh conflict at El-Salam in Magenis area yesterday evening.
Credible sources in the area said many people from Northern Sudan and displaced people from South Sudan fled to Kosti, Tendelti and Rowant for their lives because of misunderstanding in the area.
Eyewitnesses said they saw forces descended from nowhere into El-Salam area creating horror among the people.
The Governor of While Nile Ismail Fatah El-Rahman Waraq told media on Monday afternoon that calm has returned to the area after the previous misunderstanding over water borehole which led to the killing of at least 2 people from North and 3 from South.
Waraq refuted the allegations that South Sudanese opposition groups had a hand in the killings and burnings which took place at Magenis.
The fresh escalation came when South Sudanese army forces ‘SSDF’ were preparing to launch a wide offensive campaign against opposition groups belonging to Dr Riek Machar in the area.
