At least 40 people have been killed in a deadly airstrike in South Sudan\u2019s South Kordofan region. The attack took place on Saturday (November 30), AFP news agency reported, citing local residents. Two people who attended the burial of the victims confirmed the matter on Monday (December 1).
\nThe human rights organization \u2018Emergency Lawyers\u2019 reported that the airstrike carried out by the army directly hit a nursing school in the village. The attack killed dozens of students and many civilians.
\n\u201cWhen I heard about the airstrike, I went there. When I went, I saw the nursing school on fire. Everyone was trying to put out the fire and bury the bodies. About 40 people had to be buried.\u201d Another resident, Tih Issa, said, \u201cWe dug more than 40 graves. It was very tragic.\u201d
\nHowever, a military official, speaking on condition of anonymity, claimed that the army never attacks civilians. Although there have been repeated allegations of civilian casualties in army attacks during the ongoing conflict since April 2023.
\nIn South Sudan, the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and their ally Sudan People’s Liberation Movement-North currently control large parts of Darfur and South Kordofan. Fierce fighting is ongoing between the army and RSF to regain control of key highways.
\nThe United Nations reported that insecurity displaced about 5,000 people from small villages in South Kordofan in November alone. The ongoing war has so far claimed millions of lives and displaced 12 million.<\/p>\n
