A Gunmen fired on a Turkish plane trying to evacuate stranded citizens from Sudan’s battered capital on Friday, hours after French troops swooped across the border from Chad to evacuate over 100 United Nations staff and aid workers from another city
early Friday that “light weapons were fired on our C-130 evacuation plane, which was going to Wadi Sayidna for the mission of evacuating our citizens who were stuck in Sudan, where the clashes continued.” There were no injuries to Turkish personnel and the plane landed “safely,” the message said, without specifying when the attack occurred.
The army and RSF blamed each other for the attack. The airfield is secured by foreign troops and has been used to evacuate citizens from more than 41 nations so far, including France, Germany, Britain and a handful of Americans. But thousands of Americans are still trapped, including one family with two young girls, who reported shooting on their street in Khartoum on Friday morning that peppered the lower walls of their home with bullets. They have been trying to find a driver for more than six days to take them to safety but prices are sky high, petrol is scarce and drivers are afraid to enter neighborhoods where fighting is ongoing.
The specter of renewed violence looms large over Darfur, where hundreds of thousands of people were killed during a 20-year civil war that pitted Arab militant groups, known as the Janjaweed, against ethnically sub-Saharan African rebels.

Reported fighting in Sudan's Darfur mars fragile truceResidents say fighting has intensified in Sudan's war-ravaged province of Darfur during a fragile three-day truce between the country's battling top generals. The truce eased fighting in the country’s capital, creating a lull that allowed foreign governments to evacuate thousands of their nationals. Tens of thousands of Sudanese traveled to their country’s land borders with Egypt, Chad and Ethiopia, and to a port city on the country’s Red Sea. The new clashes reported Thursday targeted civilians in the capital city of Genena, the residents said, an area that is regularly roiled by outbursts of brutal tribal violence. They described attacks by fighters, mostly wearing uniforms belonging to the country’s powerful paramilitary, on several neighborhoods across the city.
