Hardliners in the country would rather the Rohingya are seen as Bengalis, rather than a separate ethnicity.

  • The South Kordofan Blue Nile Coordination Unit (SKBNCU) reported that,‘16 bombs were dropped on Kauda town on Tuesday [17th May]. Some of the bombs landed in the Kauda market, three injured civilians were rushed to the Gidel hospital. Reports from the National Human Rights Monitoring Organisation confirmed this and added that two goats, one pig and one sheep were killed as a result of the bombing. Casualties may have been more severe if it weren’t for local knowledge and protection measures taken including the preparation of foxholes for civilians in public places such as the markets and schools. The attack comes during continued intense frontline fighting in the Al Azraq area of Heiban County.’
