SAF continues shelling in Blue Nile

Bombing spills over to Ethiopian territory, SPLM-N says

The Sudanese Air Force (SAF) continues to shell civilian areas in the Blue Nile state, the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement-North (SPLM-N) said on Tuesday.The deputy governor of Blue Nile state Ali Bandar told Radio Dabanga that the bombing was now spilling over to Ethiopian territory. “One Ethiopian soldier and another civilian were killed in an SAF shelling that took place five days ago in Kurmuk and Ethiopia. I have gone to offer my condolences to the families of the deceased,” Bandar said.

Bandar dismissed Bashir’s claims last week about government forces being in control of Blue Nile state.

The clashes between the Sudan People’s Liberation Army (SPLA), the armed wing of the SPLM-N, and the Sudanese government broke out in Blue Nile state on September 1
