Appearance
Ombadda is a neighborhood in the west of Omdurman, Khartoum State, Sudan.[1]
History
[edit]Ombadda has been affected by the Battle of Khartoum. In July 2023, the SAF airstrikes and shelling killed at least 16 people in Ombadda.[2] There were reports of shelling in five housing blocks.[3] In September 2023, 23 civilians were killed in airstrikes.[4] The Ombada Emergency Response Room has given humanitarian aid.[5]
In 2024, the situation in Ombadda became reportedly "uninhabitable" amid a sanitary crisis caused by the presence of decomposing corpses in the streets.[6] In 2025, a graphic video emerged reportedly showing a civilian in Ombadda being shot by the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) .[7]
