Khartoum – April,19,2023
The photos showed Khartoum International Airport, which witnessed heavy fire by the Sudanese army and Rapid Support forces, smoke plumes rose from above the airport building, and no flights of civilian aircraft were no longer arriving in Khartoum as the fighting caused damage to aircraft.
A fire broke out from a damaged aircraft on the runway and another fire was spotted near the northern gate of the airport, where dozens of tanks and several military vehicles were lined up.
Other photos showed a fire at the Meroe air base, which saw damage after the fire came on the hangar, and thick plumes of smoke rose into the sky. The Rapid Support forces were reported to have fled the Marawi base.
Fighting continued between the army and the Rapid Support forces in Sudan. The conflict broke out following disagreements between Burhan and Daglo, nicknamed "Hemeti", over the plan to integrate the Rapid Support forces into the ranks of the regular army, which is a prerequisite for a final agreement aimed at turning the page of a crisis in the country since the 2021 coup that derailed the democratic transition process.
