About a hundred civilians were killed in Sudan , as gunfire and explosions continue to be heard in Khartoum on Monday morning, on the third day of fighting between the army led by Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and the armed Rapid Support Forces led by Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo .

Tension had been lurking for weeks between al-Burhan and Muhammad Hamdan Dagalo, known as "Hemedti", who together removed civilians from power during a coup in October 2021, before this escalation of political disputes became impossible, Saturday's confrontations.

Since then, battles with heavy weapons have continued, while the air force has regularly entered Khartoum to bomb headquarters of the Rapid Support Forces.

The members of the Rapid Support Forces, which include thousands of former fighters in the Darfur war, who have turned into a auxiliary force for the army, are deployed in military uniform and heavily armed in the streets and are fighting to control military installations and government headquarters in the country.

At least 97 civilians were killed, according to the independent and pro-democracy Sudan Doctors Syndicate, 56 of whom were killed on Saturday and 41 on Sunday, about half of them in the Sudanese capital.

The union said in a statement that "365 people were injured" as well.

The Syndicate had previously indicated that the death toll among the fighters was "dozens", but neither side had announced its human losses.

The army confirmed on Sunday evening that the situation is "stable" and the fighting is "limited", while the Rapid Support Forces said they were about to win.

But the two are difficult to diagnose the situation. The Rapid Support Forces announced that they had taken control of the airport on Saturday, which the army denied. These forces say that they entered the presidential palace, but the army also denies this and confirms that it controls the general headquarters of its general command, one of the largest complexes of power in Khartoum.

As for the official television, each of the two parties asserts control over it. However, the residents of the vicinity of the TV headquarters assert that the fighting continues, while the station broadcasts only patriotic songs, as happened during the previous coup.

With no ceasefire in sight, doctors and humanitarian workers sounded the alarm. Some neighborhoods in Khartoum have been deprived of electricity and water since Saturday, while electricity rationing was already in place on normal days.

The few grocery stores still open, she warned, would not last more than a few days if no supply trucks entered the capital.

Doctors confirmed the power outage in the surgical departments, while the World Health Organization stated that "many of the nine Khartoum hospitals that receive injured civilians suffer from depletion of blood units, blood transfusion equipment, intravenous fluids and other vital supplies."

The Sudan Doctors Syndicate said that patients, sometimes children, and their relatives do not have access to water or food, noting that the treated wounded cannot be taken out due to the security situation, which leads to overcrowding that prevents everyone from being cared for.

The "humanitarian corridors" announced by the warring sides for three hours on Sunday afternoon failed to change the situation, as gunfire and explosions continued to be heard in Khartoum.

And the World Food Program decided to suspend its work in Sudan after the killing of three workers in the program in the Darfur region of western Sudan on Saturday, while more than a third of the country's population of 45 million needs humanitarian assistance.

In Khartoum, where the smell of gunpowder spread, citizens are holed up in their homes, while black smoke rises in the center of the capital, where the main political and military headquarters are.

"It's the first time in Sudan's history since independence (1956) that this level of violence has been recorded in the center, in Khartoum," Kholoud Khair, who founded the Conflict Advisory think tank in Khartoum, told AFP.

The expert added, "Khartoum is the historical center of power and has always been the most secure region in Sudan during the deadly wars against the rebels" waged in Darfur and other regions at the turn of the millennium.

And she continued, "Today, battles are taking place throughout the city, and the Rapid Support Forces are deployed wherever they are, especially in densely populated areas, because each of the two sides thought that the high human cost might deter the other side, and we now realize that the struggle for power prevailed at any cost."

There have been many calls among the international community since Saturday to reach a halt to the fighting.

On Monday, the US and British foreign ministers called on Japan for an "immediate halt" to the violence.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said after a meeting with his British counterpart James Cleverly that there was agreement on the need for "an immediate ceasefire and a return to talks".

The League of Arab States and the African Union held emergency meetings to demand a ceasefire and a return to a political solution, an option that did not lead to the resumption of the democratic transition process in Sudan, which emerged in 2019 from a thirty-year dictatorship.

Sunday, "The Super Mario Bros. Movie" maintained its lead at the North American box office , in a performance that may be among the best for films released this year.

The third place went to the movie "John Wick: Chapter 4", with revenues of $ 7.9 million. In this work, Keanu Reeves assumes the role of a professional killer who fights against an international criminal group. During the four weeks in which it was shown in North American theaters, the film grossed $160 million.

The US destroyer "Milios" sailed through the waters separating Taiwan and mainland China, according to the US Navy , days after Beijing conducted military exercises around the self-ruled island.

Many Western navies, led by the US, regularly conduct "freedom of navigation operations" to confirm the international status of regional waterways such as the Taiwan Strait and the South China Sea.

A statement from the US Navy's Seventh Fleet said the warship conducted a "routine transit of the Taiwan Strait" on Sunday, in waters "where freedom of navigation and overflight on the high seas applies under international law."

"The ship crossed a passage in the strait that is outside the territorial waters of any littoral country," the navy statement added, stressing that sailing through the strait shows the United States' commitment to a free and open Asia-Pacific region.

This is the first operation of its kind for the United States in this corridor since January.

And the Seventh Fleet in the US Navy posted on Twitter, Monday, pictures of crew members looking at the Taiwan Strait, which is one of the most important international waterways.

For its part, China said Monday that it had followed the passage of a US destroyer in the Taiwan Strait, adding that its forces remained "at a high level of alert."

"Our forces will always remain at a high level of alert and will resolutely defend national sovereignty and security as well as regional peace and stability," said Chinese army spokesman Colonel Shi Yi.

China considers Taiwan part of its territory and has vowed to return the self-governing island to its sovereignty one day, by force if necessary.

Taiwan's Defense Ministry said Monday that during the transit of the destroyer, "the military closely monitored the activity in our sea and air surroundings, and the situation was normal."

On April 8, Beijing conducted three days of military exercises around Taiwan, which included simulated targeted strikes and the imposition of a blockade on the island.

Beijing's military maneuvers around Taiwan were conducted in response to Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen's recent visit to the United States, where she was received by US House of Representatives Speaker Kevin McCarthy.

Beijing expresses its dissatisfaction with any official contact between Taipei and foreign governments.

On the last day of the exercises held last week, Taiwan's Defense Ministry said 54 Chinese aircraft crossed the southwest and southeast of the Air Defense Identification Area (ADIS), the highest rate recorded in a single day since October 2021.

On the same day, Milius sailed through waters claimed by Beijing in the South China Sea, an operation that Beijing described as an illegal incursion carried out "without the consent of the Chinese government".

Since the end of the exercises, Chinese warships and aircraft continue to be present in the vicinity of Taiwan.

And Monday, the Ministry of Defense in Taipei announced that it had spotted four destroyers and 18 aircraft, four of which crossed southwest of the "Adis" region.

The US destroyer Chung-Hun sailed through the Taiwan Strait on January 5, months after a visit to the island by Nancy Pelosi when she was Speaker of the US House of Representatives.

Pelosi's trip triggered China's largest ever military exercise around Taiwan.

The Israeli occupation forces continue to tighten their military measures at the Hamra checkpoint in the northern Jordan Valley , for the tenth day in a row.

According to local sources, these forces stopped citizens' vehicles and searched them thoroughly, and checked the identity cards of their passengers, which impeded their access to their places of work and farms.

The occupation forces set up the Hamra military checkpoint at a crossroads linking the cities of the West Bank with the central, southern and northern Jordan Valley.

The Hebrew newspaper, Haaretz, said today, Monday, that Hamas is taking advantage of the opportunities available to it to strengthen its presence and position in the region and beyond, at a time when the Palestinian Authority is retreating and weakening further.

The newspaper referred to the upcoming visit of a leading delegation from the political bureau of the "Hamas" movement, headed by Ismail Haniyeh , Khaled Meshaal and other leaders, to Saudi Arabia , which a senior official in the movement considered during his interview with the Hebrew newspaper as a window for opportunities to improve relations with the Kingdom, despite his description that the visit Basically "religious".

According to the same source, Saudi Arabia has agreed to allow the Hamas leadership to perform Umrah, noting at the same time that it is of political importance, although it is a visit of a religious nature.

The newspaper indicated that the visit did not take place without the approval of the royal palace in Riyadh and the intelligence services in the Kingdom.

According to the newspaper, Hamas and other Palestinian parties see the upcoming visit as a continuation of the recent developments in the Arab arena, the renewal of relations between Saudi Arabia and Iran , and the warming of Riyadh's relations with Syria.

The newspaper says: Despite Hamas' attempt to portray the delegation's visit as a religious visit without a political aspect, it is considered on the Palestinian and Arab arenas another step in strengthening the position of the movement, against the background of the weakness of the influence of the Palestinian Authority.

She pointed out that Hamas, by firing rockets from Gaza and southern Lebanon towards Israel, in addition to regional developments, especially the Saudi rapprochement with Iran and Syria, spared it a lot to achieve unexpected gains, despite expectations that it would not quickly resume its activity in Saudi Arabia or Syria, and is still It focuses on staying in Qatar, which is a central base for Hamas leadership abroad, in addition to its extensive relations in Turkey , Lebanon, Indonesia and Pakistan.

The newspaper believes that the Hamas leadership in Gaza is concerned about any move that might harm relations with Egypt , and its important role, especially with regard to the indirect relationship with Israel, and the borders and crossings with Sinai.

A leading source from Hamas told the Hebrew newspaper, "Opening up with the Saudis is very important, and the organization feels comfortable with the winds of change in the Middle East, but caution is required here... Hamas is trying to avoid conflicting interests with those of other countries, and there is Egyptian suspicion of relations with Iran and Turkey, in While Saudi Arabia has completely different interests from the interests of Tehran and Ankara, and each country has a map of its own interests, and in the midst of all this, Hamas wants to be open and a partner for all.

The newspaper refers to the visit of President Mahmoud Abbas , scheduled for today, to Saudi Arabia, at the invitation of King Salman bin Abdulaziz, to eat a Ramadan meal.

It quoted sources in the Palestinian Authority that no meeting would take place between President Abbas and Ismail Haniyeh.

And officials in the Palestinian Authority admitted - as the newspaper says - that its leadership is not an important player in developments in the region, and that the United States and the European Union do not show any great interest in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, especially in light of the current Israeli government's approach, with the exception of their intervention and other parties to try to prevent escalation and deal with civil issues.

"It is doubtful that at the end of Ramadan and after Eid al-Fitr, something will move in a positive direction, and vice versa," said a Fatah official.

Barcelona, the leaders of the Spanish League , fell into the trap of a goalless draw for the second match in a row, this time against its host Getafe, in the twenty-ninth stage of the “La Liga”, which witnessed Atletico Madrid’s 2-1 victory over its guest, Almeria.

With this negative tie, Barcelona continued to bleed points, after it was tied negatively in the last stage also against its guest, Girona.
Despite this, Barcelona raised its score to 73 points at the top of the league, 11 points behind its rivals and pursuers, Real Madrid, who beat Cadiz with two clean goals on Saturday.

This is the third match in a row in all competitions in which Barcelona fails to score, after losing at home 4-0 in the second leg of the local cup semi-final against Real Madrid earlier this month to bid farewell to the competition.

As for Getafe, he raised his rank to 31 points in the fifteenth place.

Catalan coach Xavi Hernandez said after the match, "We are not in the best moment of our season. In the match, in the results, in realism (...) We tried everything, but we were lost and uncomfortable throughout the match."

He added, "We did not score in three matches, but we did not concede any goals in the last two matches. Robert (Lewandowski), for example, had extraordinary stats in the first leg, and I think his numbers are still good in the second leg, even if he scored less (.. .) But the targets will come.”

The match was fairly equal, despite the pressing attack of the hosts at the start of the match, with several chances through the attackers Borja Mayoral and Munir El Haddadi, but without danger.

Barcelona suffered a setback in the first half, with Sergi Roberto suffering a muscle strain, forcing Xavi to replace him and introduce Eric Garcia in the 18th minute.

The Catalan club wasted several chances to settle the match, most notably through the Brazilian Rafinha, who hit a creeping floor that hit the left post, to rebound against Alex Balde, who also hit the post (26).

And as the first half ended in a goalless draw, the two teams did not present anything new in the second half, despite Ivorian Frank Kessier and Jordi Alba’s attempts to shoot from outside the area, and the Polish Robert Lewandowski wasted in front of the goal.

Shortly after that, Atletico Madrid achieved its sixth successive victory in the league, this time at the expense of its guest Almeria 2-1.

Frenchman Antoine Griezmann scored the double for the Spanish capital team (5 and 43), while his Uruguayan colleague Jose Maria Jimenez scored Almeria's own goal (37).

With these two goals, Griezmann's score, which has been shining since his return from the World Cup in Qatar, which his team lost to Argentina in the final match, has now reached 11 goals this season in the league.

The Frenchman said after the match, "We are struggling to finish the matches (...) It happened to us in Vallecas (against Rayo Vallecano), and the same thing today. We must improve in this field."

"But I'm still happy with the team's performance. If I'm at this level, it's thanks to the team. I give everything to our coach."

With this victory, Atletico raised its tally to 60 points in third place, suffocating Real II (62 points).

After the match, Spanish coach Mikel Arteta said, "We started in a very good way. We scored two beautiful goals. After that, we made a huge mistake by not playing with the goal of scoring the third and fourth."

"We thought we could play around that and keep the score. We gave them hope."

And after he led for most of the season and seemed on his way to achieving his first league title since 2004, it seems that Arsenal began to pay the price for his stumbling in three consecutive matches last February, when he suffered two losses and a draw.

After that, he did not taste the loss in his last nine matches in the league, achieving 7 consecutive victories against two draws, the first against Liverpool 2-2 in the last stage when he also missed a two-goal lead and Sunday against West Ham, noting that the last loss of the “gunners” dates back to February 15.

Arsenal had the opportunity to double the lead again early in the second half, after being awarded a penalty kick after a handball on Mikael Antonio, but Saka executed it in a bad way, shooting to the right of the goal (52).

West Ham waited only two minutes to punish its London rivals, and equalized the score when German Thilo Kehrer lifted a ball behind the defenders, which Bowen followed on the low jumper in the bottom left corner (54).

Manchester United rose to third place with its third successive victory in the league, which came at the expense of its host Nottingham Forest 2-0, taking advantage of Newcastle’s loss 3-0 against its host Aston Villa on Saturday, to advance it by 3 points.

This is United's fourth victory over Nottingham this season, with a total score of 10-0 (back and forth in the League and the League Cup semi-finals).

He also lost in the match the efforts of his Argentine international defender, Lisandro Martinez, until the end of the season, after suffering a metatarsal fracture, and his French colleague, Rafael Varane, for "a few weeks."

The match witnessed the return of Brazilian Casemiro to local competitions after he was suspended for four matches after being sent off for the second time this season during the tie against Southampton, so he missed three league matches and one in the local cup.

And after it was announced that the Austrian Marcel Sabeters - who scored two goals against Seville - was in the starting line-up, he suffered an injury in the warm-up, and Dane Christian Eriksen replaced him.

And in the absence of his injured top scorer, Marcus Rashford, United opened the scoring when Frenchman Anthony Martial killed the ball from the opponent to reach Portuguese Bruno Fernandez. He returned it to the Frenchman inside the area. He shot it and saved it from Costa Rican goalkeeper Keylor Navas, to prepare for Anthony, who followed it into the net (32).
And after Navas managed to keep his team in the match atmosphere with wonderful saves, Dalot doubled the lead after Anthony made a distinguished individual effort and beautiful dribbles, before passing a through ball to the Portuguese into the area, which he settled into the net (76).

United will miss the league competition next week because it is busy in the cup semi-final against Brighton at Wembley Stadium, to return to the league hosted by Tottenham on the 27th of this month.

For its part, the Victims' Families Association said on Twitter that it "does not recognize the courts of the Islamic regime," and added, "We demand an impartial international court to look into this crime. We aspire for fair trials in a free Iran."

Three days after the tragedy, the Iranian armed forces admitted that they had "accidentally" shot down the plane bound for Kiev.
Tensions between Iran and the United States were running high at the time of the incident.

At the time, Iran's air defenses were put on high alert in anticipation of an American attack, after Tehran fired missiles at a military base in Iraq that was used by American forces.

The missile launches came in response to the assassination of the commander of the Quds Force in the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, Qassem Soleimani, by an American drone near Baghdad Airport.

All 176 passengers on board were killed in the downing of the plane in 2020, most of them Iranians and Canadians, and many of them hold the nationalities of the two countries.

Also, 11 Ukrainian citizens died in the accident.

In November 2021, the Iranian judiciary announced the start of the trial of the ten military personnel in Tehran against the background of the downing of the plane.

At the time, he indicated that "103 people filed a complaint with the Public Prosecution," demanding "an impartial investigation ... to identify those responsible and prosecute them."

In January of last year, Iran announced that it had started paying compensation to the families of those killed.

The deputy head of Iran's Civil Aviation Authority, Arash Khodaei, said that "the amount of $150,000" has been transferred to some families of the victims, while "the process" of compensation for other families has begun.

The Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA) quoted him as saying that the payment "does not violate their right to take legal action".
In 2020, Iran offered to pay "150,000 dollars or its equivalent in euros" to each of the victims' families.

At the time, Ukrainian and Canadian officials sharply criticized the ad, saying that compensation should not be settled through unilateral declarations.

A Canadian court ruled to pay more than $80 million in compensation to the families of six of the victims, in a decision revealed in January 2022.

That same month, an Iranian couple sued three senior Iranian officials over the deaths of their children in the incident, an Iranian newspaper reported at the time.

A group of countries, led by Canada, called in December for arbitration to settle claims against Iran, a first step that could lead to a case being taken to the International Court of Justice, a move families of victims have long called for.

The organizers of the event stated that the ministry withdrew its approval, even though it had obtained prior approval.

The Gaza Ministry of Interior did not comment on this accusation.

On Sunday evening, the Israeli occupation forces arrested a young man while trying to infiltrate the Kiryat Arba settlement in Hebron .

According to the Hebrew Channel 14, the forces transferred the young man for interrogation.

On Sunday evening, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant threatened that his forces would continue their attacks on all fronts.

And Gallant confirmed, in a speech during a ceremony to commemorate the dead of his forces, that it had recently carried out a series of covert and overt operations, and would continue to do so, whether through attacks on or beyond the border, or far from it.

He pointed out that his forces will continue to work to prevent Iran from establishing itself on the northern front, and will continue to prevent it from delivering weapons to any of the fronts, including the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.

A 39-year-old citizen was killed this evening, Sunday, as a result of a trampling accident he was involved in near the town of Haris, west of Salfit .

Colonel Louay Irzeigat, the media spokesman for the police, stated that a vehicle deviated from its track, as a result of a collision with another vehicle, and it ran over two citizens near the town of Haris, which led to the serious injury of one of them, who was subsequently transferred to Yasser Arafat Governmental Hospital in Salfit, where doctors announced His death was described as the injury of the other moderate.

Colonel Arziqat added that the driver was arrested, the Public Prosecution was informed, and an investigation into the accident was initiated by traffic police accident experts to find out his circumstances.

35 people were killed as a result of two attacks launched by militants of the Islamic State organization Sunday in Syria , according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.

The Observatory reported, in a new toll, that 31 people were killed while collecting truffles in central Syria as a result of an attack launched by gunmen affiliated with ISIS cells, and four shepherds were killed in the countryside of Deir Ezzor in a separate attack.

The Observatory reported in a previous toll today that at least 26 people were killed during the attack, and the official Syrian News Agency (SANA) reported in a similar toll, "26 citizens were killed in an attack carried out by the terrorist organization ISIS on the people while they were collecting truffles in the eastern countryside of Hama."

The Observatory spoke about the killing of "civilians and military personnel as a result of an armed attack on them while they were collecting truffles in the Duizen area, east of Hama, in the center of the country," explaining that 12 of the dead were fighters loyal to the regime.

SANA quoted a police source as saying that the militants of the organization "attacked a group of people who were collecting truffles in lands" in the eastern countryside of Hama.

In a separate incident, four shepherds were killed and two were kidnapped while grazing sheep in the countryside of Deir Ezzor, during an attack by gunmen, whom the Observatory believes are affiliated with cells of the Islamic State.

He added that the gunmen were "riding motorcycles with automatic weapons" and stole the entire flock of sheep.

During its control of large areas in Syria, starting in 2014, the Islamic State took control of several towns and villages in the eastern countryside of Hama, before it was expelled from it in 2017.

Since the start of the truffle collection season in February, the organization has repeatedly launched attacks targeting workers in the vast Syrian desert, punctuated by shootings and kidnappings.

The death toll as a result of the organization’s attacks in the Syrian Desert since the beginning of the year has reached more than 230 people, most of them civilians, according to the Observatory.

Despite the risks, residents of the areas bordering the Syrian Badia continue to collect truffles, whose season lasts until April and are sold at a high price, which explains the demand for collecting them in light of difficult economic conditions with a war that has been going on for more than 12 years.

The price of one kilogram generally ranges between five and $25 dollars, according to the quality and size of the fruits.

On March 24, 15 people were killed while collecting truffles as a result of an attack launched by the organization in central Syria, according to the Observatory. Also, in mid-February, 68 people were killed while collecting truffles as a result of an attack launched by the extremist organization in the eastern countryside of Homs.

On April 4, a prominent leader of the Islamic State, responsible for planning attacks in Europe, was killed in a strike launched by US forces in northwestern Syria, according to what was announced by the US Army's Central Command, Centcom.

The commander of the Central Command, Michael Korella, said in a statement that the US forces "launched a unilateral strike in northwestern Syria, which resulted in the death of Khaled Iyad Ahmed al-Jubouri, a prominent leader" in the organization.

Despite the strikes targeting its leaders, movements, and locations, the organization is still able to launch attacks and carry out sporadic attacks, especially in eastern and northeastern Syria, and in the vast Syrian desert.

Since 2011, Syria has been witnessing a bloody and complex conflict, which has caused the death of more than half a million people, massive destruction of infrastructure, and the displacement of more than half of the population inside and outside the country.

The Sudanese army announced its approval of a United Nations proposal to open safe paths for humanitarian cases for a period of three hours, starting from four o'clock this afternoon (Sunday) local time.

The Sudanese Army General Command said in a press statement, "The Sudanese Armed Forces agree to the United Nations' proposal to open safe paths for humanitarian cases, for a period of three hours, starting from four o'clock this afternoon."

She added, "provided that this does not negate her right to respond in the event of any transgressions by the rebel militia."

Since yesterday (Saturday), Sudan has been witnessing armed clashes between the Sudanese army and the (semi-regular) Rapid Support Forces.

The two sides exchanged accusations of causing the outbreak of clashes in the capital, Khartoum, and other separate areas in Sudan.

The disputes between the two military forces began last Wednesday in the Marawi region in northern Sudan, after the Rapid Support Forces moved military vehicles to a location near the military air base there, which the army considered an illegal move.

Deep differences have recently emerged between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces, especially with regard to integrating the Rapid Support Forces into the army stipulated in the framework agreement signed between the military and civilian components on the fifth of last December.

Today, Sunday, the US Ambassador , Rashad Hussein , and the Special Representative , Hadi Amr, met with the Director of the Jerusalem Endowment, Azzam Al-Khatib, in the occupied city of Jerusalem .

Developments during the month of Ramadan will be discussed and the United States' commitment to the historic status quo in Jerusalem will be confirmed.

They venture out for a few minutes to buy some of their needs, then return as quickly as possible, trying to avoid jumping in panic with the sound of each explosion... The people of Khartoum are trying to live under fire, without water or electricity, in light of the confrontations between the army and the Rapid Support Forces.

In the northern suburbs of Khartoum, as in other areas, no one closed an eyelid throughout the night from Tuesday to Wednesday because of the roar of planes, the sound of air strikes, the sounds of artillery, and the street battles with automatic rifles or heavy machine guns.

But this morning, in the last week of Ramadan, Farouk Ahmed was keen to open his bakery despite the very high temperatures, which were exacerbated by the power outage.

"We no longer have electricity and water is cut off, but we continue to work," Farouk Ahmed told AFP as he distributed the news to citizens hurrying to leave to avoid the dangers of being on the street.

Not far from the bakery, people were killed by stray bullets in the clashes that left 56 civilians dead and about 600 wounded, and which continued between the army and the Rapid Support Forces, which continued Sunday for the second day in Khartoum, amid a power struggle between the two generals who have been leading Sudan since the 2021 coup.

Not only bullets can be described as stray, but shells fell far from their potential targets in this heated battle between my allies yesterday, the army commander, Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan, and the leader of the Rapid Support Forces, Muhammad Hamdan Dagalo, known as "Hamidti", before the conflict between them escalated into an armed displacement. Saturday.

"A shell landed ten meters away from my house," Saad Ahmed said, still under the shock of the horror he experienced on Saturday evening.

He adds that "shooting and explosions do not stop" around his house because the bases of the army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, which were formed during the war in the Darfur region, are located in the heart of residential neighborhoods.

On social media, hastily captured videos from apartment windows of armored personnel carriers, armed men, and street battles do not stop broadcasting.

As for Sana Ahmed (43 years old), she says she fears that the worst will happen Sunday in the capital, from which black columns of smoke rise.

Like everyone in North Khartoum, she has the impression that the situation has become more tense 24 hours after the first shot, for which both sides blame each other.

"Since yesterday we have been living in terror. My children are terrified by the sound of explosions, and the water and electricity cuts are making the situation worse," she told AFP.

Baker Farouk Hassan believes the worst is yet to come. As it is no longer possible to travel by car between Khartoum and its suburbs, the main bridges and axes are either closed by the army or cannot be used because they are the scene of battles.

On Saturday, trains coming from other provinces to Khartoum turned back before arriving in the capital, with reports of the outbreak of fighting.

Without transportation, food commodities will disappear in a country suffering from triple-digit inflation and poverty, which has reduced the ability of small traders to buy and store.

"My stock of flour will not suffice for more than 48 hours if food trucks cannot move," says Hassan.

Today, Sunday, the Journalist Support Committee stated that there are more than 19 journalists, who are languishing in inhumane and harsh health conditions and deprived of all their rights, including 10 journalists who are detained by actual sentences, and 4 journalists who are administratively detained and whose detention is renewed several times, except for the arrest of 5 journalists. others without trial.

In a statement, the committee warned, on the eve of the Palestinian Prisoner's Day , which falls on the seventeenth of April of each year, against the Israeli occupation's continued torture of journalist prisoners in prisons, the adoption of a policy of isolation against prisoners, and the denial of religious rituals, especially during the blessed month of Ramadan.

She said: "The occupation uses the most heinous methods of torture against the journalist prisoners, such as beatings, shabeh, and sleep deprivation, and uses them with the most heinous psychological and physical means that exhaust their health in order to extract confessions."

The committee emphasized that the Israeli occupation prison administration continues to disregard the lives of detained media professionals and refuses to release them after the end of their sentences, and follows a policy of medical negligence (slow killing) with patients, including the tools of abuse, most notably delaying treatment and diagnosing the disease.

Among them, the imprisoned writer and journalist Walid Daqqa, warned of his critical health condition, following his admission to the intensive care unit at Barzilai Hospital in the city of Ashkelon, after he underwent an operation two days ago, during which part of his right lung was removed.

The committee called on international and human rights institutions to intervene in order to stop the policy of arresting and detaining journalists in harsh conditions, and to provide them with protection while performing their journalistic duties, and to send an investigation committee to stand up to the escalating occupation crimes against them in the Palestinian territories, to ensure that they are not attacked.

It also demanded the need for international intervention to release the detained journalists and protect the media prisoners from the crimes of the occupation, especially the patients, with the escalation of serious cases inside prisons and deliberate medical neglect without follow-up or any health care.

The "Journalists' Support" called on the International Red Cross to intervene to find out the health status of (4) journalists and media workers who are isolated in solitary confinement cells, by decisions of the Israeli intelligence, and who are sentenced to actual sentences.

It strongly condemned the shameful international silence towards the captive playwright Walid Abu Daqqa, who spent (37 years) the flower of his youth and life behind bars and in the cells and detention centers of the Israeli occupation, where he is subjected to real medical negligence that may lead to the loss of his life at any moment.

The committee expressed its disapproval of the occupation's policy by following the method of extending the administrative detention of a number of journalists detained in the occupation prisons without charge, confirming the arrest of journalists under flimsy pretexts, and detaining others without charge for several years. According to her saying.

And she called on all journalists in the world to strengthen solidarity on the Palestinian Prisoner's Day with Palestinian journalists and various media outlets, which are subjected to grave and systematic violations by the Israeli occupation forces.

Tomorrow, Monday, President Mahmoud Abbas will travel to the Saudi capital, Riyadh, in response to an official invitation from Saudi King Salman bin Abdulaziz.

A Jordanian helicopter landed at noon today, Sunday, at the Muqata'a headquarters, to transport President Mahmoud Abbas to Amman, before heading to Saudi Arabia tomorrow.

President Abbas's visit coincides with a similar visit scheduled to be made by a delegation from the " Hamas " movement headed by Ismail Haniyeh , head of the movement's political bureau.

There were conflicting reports about whether the Hamas delegation's visit would be limited to its leadership performing Umrah, or that it would include holding meetings with official Saudi authorities.

According to well-informed sources who spoke to Al-Quds.com, the visit was being arranged since the Hajj season last year, but it was postponed due to various circumstances.

Randa Adnan, the wife of a leader in the Islamic Jihad Movement, Sheikh Khader Adnan , denied receiving any new news about the fate of her husband, who has been on hunger strike for 71 days to demand his freedom.

Adnan told Al-Quds that the occupation, which continues to isolate her husband in worshiping Al-Ramla and exerts pressure against him, did not allow the lawyer to visit him recently, despite the seriousness of his health condition, which led to no news of him.

She stated that she was waiting for her husband's lawyer, who went to visit him a short while ago in Ramla, to find out the truth about his health condition.

The Captive Club had warned of the death of the prisoner Adnan in light of his difficult health conditions.

G7 energy, climate and environment ministers on Sunday pledged to phase out fossil fuels and urged other countries to do the same, but they did not set any new deadlines for abandoning polluting energy sources such as coal.

This new goal, which was mentioned in a joint statement issued after a ministerial meeting of the Group of Seven countries, which has been held since Saturday in Sapporo (northern Japan), does not include fossil fuels attached to carbon dioxide collection and storage procedures.

The ministers of the seven countries only emphasized that this goal falls within the framework of their efforts to achieve carbon neutrality in energy by 2050 "at the latest".

The countries of the group pledged last year to abandon fossil fuels in the largest part of the electricity sector by 2035. They confirmed this goal on Sunday.

In an indication of its difficult negotiations, the group was unable to reach a specific date for abandoning coal in generating electricity, while Britain, supported by France, proposed a deadline that ends in 2030.

And the French Minister of Energy Transition, Agnes Pannier-Ronascher, confirmed that the formula for "phasing out" fossil fuels is "a strong step forward."

She added that it is "an important focal point for expanding this proposition" during the G20 meeting in India and the twenty-eighth climate conference (COP28) in Dubai at the end of this year.

But the French minister admitted that these upcoming global negotiations "will not be easy."

The club of major industrialized nations sought to show unity and will after the disturbing latest report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change published in March.

The report said that the Earth's temperature will rise by 1.5 degrees from what it was in the pre-industrial era from 2030-2035 due to warming caused by human activity.

This jeopardizes the aim of the Paris Agreement signed in 2015 to limit temperature rises to this level, or at least below 2 degrees Celsius.

On Sunday, the Group of Seven confirmed its commitment to work with other developed countries to raise one hundred billion dollars annually for emerging countries against global warming, in a promise dating back to 2009 that was supposed to be implemented as of 2020.

A summit is scheduled for the end of June in Paris to improve access to climate finance for developing countries, a critical point for the success of COP28.

Due to the tense global geopolitical situation with the war in Ukraine since last year, and proposals made by Japan, which especially wanted the Group of Seven to agree to more investments in gas, environmental NGOs were afraid that the Sapporo meeting would lead to a decline in climate commitments. .

In tone similar to that adopted last year, the G7 acknowledged in its statement that investments in natural gas "may be appropriate" to help some countries avoid potential energy shortages linked to the war in Ukraine.

But she stressed at the same time the priority of the transition to "clean" energy and the need to reduce the demand for gas.

Another proposal made by Japan is to recognize ammonia and hydrogen as "clean" fuels for thermal power plants, but it was not welcomed. The Group of Seven stressed the need to develop these technologies from "low carbon and renewable" sources.

On the environment front, the environment and climate ministers of the Group of Seven set a goal to end any new plastic pollution in their countries by 2040.

"We are committed to eliminating plastic pollution, with the ambition of reducing any additional plastic pollution to zero by 2040," the ministers said in a statement issued Sunday after talks in northern Japan.

This is the first time that the G7 members have set a date of 2040.

At a press conference after the two-day talks in the Japanese city of Sapporo, German Environment Minister Steffi Lemke hailed the bloc's new pledge on plastic pollution, calling it an "ambitious goal".
