180 dead, almost 2K injured as Sudan conflict rages on
Fox News
A political power struggle between two rival Sudanese generals has taken to the nation's crowded streets, with 180 people reportedly killed and another 1,800 injured.
The toll could be much higher because there are many bodies in the streets around central Khartoum that no one can reach because of the clashes. There has been no official word on how many civilians or combatants have been killed. The doctors' syndicate earlier put the number of civilian deaths at 97.
The sudden explosion of violence over the weekend between the nation's two top generals, each backed by tens of thousands of fighters, trapped millions of people in their homes or wherever they could find shelter, with supplies running low in many areas. Top diplomats on four continents scrambled to broker a truce, with the U.N. Security Council set to discuss the crisis.
