NEW fighting rocked Sudan’s capital this week with air strikes and drone attacks in and around Khartoum amid a worsening cholera outbreak, officials said today.

Sudan’s military launched an operation in the early hours of Thursday aimed at taking control of areas in the capital that had been in the hands of the rival paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF).

Sudanese media reported increased military movements and air strikes in the districts of Khartoum and Omdurman, the heaviest in the capital area in months.
