Today, Friday, a patrol of the Rapid Support Forces interrupted Al-Arabiya correspondent Salem Al-Hashemi, while he was monitoring developments in the streets of Khartoum.
When the armed patrol arrived, which demanded that the camera be turned off, our reporter demanded that the broadcast stop, fearing for his life, but the broadcast continued until the situation ended and the two-car patrol left.
After the patrol left, our correspondent said that he was fine after they asked him to talk in private, away from the cameras, stressing that they had not harmed him.
It is noteworthy that since the outbreak of fighting between the army and the Rapid Support Forces on April 15, several truces have been reached, but all of them failed to hold, and were punctuated by many violations.
The battles have so far killed at least 512 people and wounded thousands, according to a statement by the Sudanese Ministry of Health, but the number of victims may be much more than that as a result of the ongoing fighting.
Meanwhile, thousands of people have fled from Khartoum and its surrounding areas to other, safer states, amid scarcity of food and drinking water, power outages, and high fuel prices.
