Ombadda
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
[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.[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]
