UN raises alarm on civilian deaths in Khartoum attacks

GENEVA: Dozens of civilians have been killed by shelling and bombardment in and around the Sudanese capital Khartoum, the United Nations said Thursday, as it demanded an end to “lawlessness and impunity.”
“We are receiving troubling reports of escalating violence against civilians in Khartoum, amid continued intense hostilities,” UN Human Rights Office spokesman Seif Magango said in a statement, calling for both parties in the fighting “to ensure the effective protection of civilians.”
