It is not clear who fired the shot that killed Asia Abdelmajid in her home during clashes in the suburb of Bahri. Paramilitary fighters of the <a href="https://www.thenationalnews.com/mena/2023/04/14/sudan-army-says-rsf-militia-poses-danger-to-security/" target="_blank">Rapid Support Forces</a> are fighting from bases in residential areas across the city, while its army rivals tend to attack from the air, the BBC reported. Abdelmajid was buried in the grounds of a kindergarten where she recently worked. Her family said it was too dangerous to take her to a cemetery. The actress, who was 80, rose to fame for her theatre performances. She was considered a pioneer of the stage and the country's first professional stage actress. When she retired she became a teacher. She was the widow of Sudan’s acclaimed poet Mohamed Moftah Al Faitory. Fighting is raging in the capital Khartoum, despite a ceasefire agreement. Residents said the city was violently shaken on Thursday morning by air strikes. UN chief Antonio Guterres has called on the warring factions to stop the fighting immediately.
