The total closure of the market in the city of al-Mulada in West Kordofan state has entered its second day, amid tension and popular anger after the death of six people in armed clashes between elements of the Rapid Support Militia and arms dealers in the city.
According to local sources, the clashes erupted on Saturday at the eastern gate of the volume on the way to the area of al-Dib, where it developed into a heavy exchange of fire that killed six people, prompting a wave of protests that prompted citizens to close the main market of the city.
The volume market is one of the most important commercial centers in the state of West Kordofan, which reflected on the trade and supplies movement in the region as the closure continued for the second day in a row.
The state is witnessing a tense security situation with the control of large areas of the Rapid Support Militia, while fears are mounting among the population of worsening insecurity and widening violence, at a time of increasing local calls to protect civilians and restore stability.
