According to eyewitnesses, citizens who had to be displaced from the city of Sennar because of clashes between the armed forces and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) began to return to their homes in the city since yesterday after the intensity of the fighting between the parties receded.

A source told "citizens" that yesterday, citizens displaced to the areas of Wade Hashim and Mayerno near Sennar, returned to the city. He added that traders returned to open their stores and return life to normal.

According to a Snare Observatory report released yesterday, the fighting between the parties to the conflict was the result of a humanitarian catastrophe caused by the increase in displacements, along with the fear and panic that hit citizens under the crossfire.

The Observatory said that the rapid support control of Jebel Moya created a state of panic and fear among citizens and shells in Sinnar city, causing displacement of citizens and some displaced people in shelters to dispersed areas, "Sinja, Damazin, Qadarif, Kassala, Port Sudan", after Sinnar was one of the cities that aided thousands of displaced people fleeing Khartoum Madani and, and more recently east of Sinnar.

According to monitoring and investigation by the Observatory, three heavy artillery shells landed on the homes of civilians in Sennar on 24 June, one at crossfire at the home of a citizen resulting in total destruction of the house without recording injuries, and two at the outskirts of the city.

On June 25, 5 shells occurred at the crossroads of the "Central" neighbourhood, on houses close to each other without injuries because of the fact that their owners were not inside them at the moment of their fall, but caused total damage and demolition of the houses, as well as a dazzling number of shells in the village of Reba al-Sheikh al-Nur, west of Sinar and about 5 kilos away from the city.

The Observatory team documented dozens of gunshot wounds over the past days, caused by violent clashes with heavy weapons and light weapons and the bombing of warplanes, following which Sennars hospitals received a number of them for treatment and others reportedly missing.
