El Fasher, June 24( Darfur 24)The artillery shelling of residential neighborhoods by the Rapid Support Forces prompted citizens in the city of El Fasher, the capital of North Darfur, to find ways to protect them from the long-term danger of blogging.
A number of citizens revealed to Darfur 24 on Sunday the methods they resorted to, including digging underground trenches in order to provide special means of protection for women, children, and the elderly.
Ahmed Ibrahim, the head of a family residing in the Abu Shouk Al-Hilla neighborhood, said that these expenditures are necessary to protect children and women from the continuous artillery shelling of families by the support forces.
He added that the majority of families resorted to new innovations to protect themselves from the massacres that the Rapid Support Forces continued to commit against defenseless civilians due to the artillery shelling that caused the death of about 15 civilians, including a woman and five of her children, in the Naivasha camp last week.
Ibrahim pointed out that families rush to tunnels or trenches at the beginning of the bombing for fear of explosive shells and missiles, before pointing out that expenditures vary in size according to family members.
Ibrahim expressed his regret for the dire reality experienced by the citizens of El Fasher, which pushed them into the era of caves.
On the other hand, Adam Hussein, a pensioner in the Sudanese army, revealed to “Darfur 24” the widespread spread of trenches in most neighborhoods, especially in Qashlaq, in order to protect families from the indiscriminate artillery shelling of the Rapid Support Forces on residential neighborhoods from their concentration areas east of El Fasher.
The city of El Fasher has witnessed fierce battles between the Sudanese army, the armed movements allied with it, and the Rapid Support Forces since May, causing the deaths of hundreds, most of them children and women. This led to the majority of the population fleeing from the city to the areas controlled by Abdel Wahed Nour and others to Nyala and East Darfur.
