Air strike kills seven, including six children in Sudan’s South Kordofan
On Sunday morning, the Sudanese Air Force attacked Showa, near Toloshi in Lagawa county, South Kordofan. A MiG jet fighter dropped three bombs on the village in Nuba Mountains, killing a mother, her three children, and three other children. The explosions wounded one baby, destroyed six houses and killed several animals. “Showa village lies far from the fighting location,” Arnu Ngutulu Lodi, spokesperson of the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement-North (SPLM-N), told Radio Dabanga. The names of the deceased are Limia Ali Kafi (27), her three children Rebecca Francis (6), Mohamed Francis (4), and Kawsar Francis (2). The other three children are Enas Tutu Boles (3), Islam Tutu Boles (5) and Amira Ali El Faki (11). “SPLA-N forces and other SRF forces will continue defending the Sudanese people from Sudan’s brutal regime, by various means of struggle, until victory is achieved,” Lodi stressed.
