With heavy weapons and warplanes, severe confrontations have begun in many Sudanese cities, especially the capital, Khartoum, which has been witnessing ongoing clashes between the Sudanese army led by General Abl al-Fattah Burhan and the Rapid Support Forces led by Mohamed Hamdan Daqlo "Hemedti" since April 15.

According to the latest statistics of the World Health Organization, the battles until yesterday resulted in the deaths of approximately 420 people and the injury of 3,700 others.

Sources reported that the number of victims of the Syrian community in Sudan has risen to 11, some of whom were killed for racist reason.

Hamo Ibrahim Rahmano, a Syrian Kurd resident in the capital, Khartoum, who holds Sudanese citizenship, deported from Syria in 2011;  He told ANHA agency about the difficulties in the country.

Rahmano indicated that there is complete chaos in the capital, Khartoum, adding, "Some mercenaries affiliated with the 2 powers are practicing racist acts against the Kurds and the Syrians; they consider us that we have came to Sudan to plunder the country's money; but in fact we have revived the Sudanese economy and despite the racist practices of mercenaries in the capital, there are many Sudanese who help us and respect us in this ordeal and even during the past years as well."

About leaving the country, Ibrahim Rahmano explained the difficulty of that;  He said, "The main airport in Khartoum was vandalized, and although we hold Sudanese citizenship, neighboring countries do not receive us; even if they did, we do not have enough money for that; all our money is in banks."

He added, "None of the official authorities has communicated with the Kurdish and Syrian community in Sudan; although tens of thousands of the Syrian community live in the country, we have not seen any steps by the Damascus government, and this is what we are always used to, as the citizen means nothing to Damascus."

According to many sources, more than 90,000 Syrians, including Kurds from Kobani and Girê Spî / Tal Abyad Cantons, live in Sudan and are widely spread in the states of Khartoum, River Nile, and Kassla.
