Ombadda

Last updated

Ombadda is a locality in Khartoum State, Sudan. It is located approximately 10 km from the capital, Khartoum, and approximately 2 km from Omdurman. It was formerly a district of Omdurman, but after its expansion and separation from Omdurman, it became a locality in its own right.[1]

History

Ombadda has been affected by the Battle of Khartoum. In July 2023, the SAF airstrikes and shelling killed at least 16 people in Ombadda. [1] There were reports of shelling in five housing blocks. [2] In September 2023, 23 civilians were killed in airstrikes. [3] The Ombada Emergency Response Room has given humanitarian aid. [4]

In 2024, the situation in Ombadda became reportedly "uninhabitable" amid a sanitary crisis caused by the presence of decomposing corpses in the streets. [5] In 2025, a graphic video emerged reportedly showing a civilian in Ombadda being shot by the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) . [6]
