内罗毕，10月23日——对阿瓦德·乌沙姆·阿尔-阿明（Awad Usham Al-Amin）以及成千上万其他人来说，阿比埃（Abyei）是他们避难的地方，也是他们在家乡战争肆虐时谋生的依靠。然而，本周，苏丹的冲突也蔓延到了这里。
NAIROBI, Oct 23 - For Awad Usham Al-Amin and thousands of others, Abyei provides shelter and an opportunity to eke out a living as war rages back home. This week, Sudan's conflict caught up with them there too.
据信，这是一次针对苏丹准军事组织“快速支援部队”（Rapid Support Forces, RSF）使用的燃料仓库的无人机袭击，袭击发生在阿米埃（Amiet）市场，导致该镇超过150人死亡。该镇位于苏丹和南苏丹争夺的领土上。
“我是作为难民从苏丹逃来的……但在这里却再次遭遇了冲突，”阿尔-阿明告诉路透社，他的右手和左腿都受了弹片伤。
A drone strike believed to be targeting a fuel depot used by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) hit the Amiet market, killing over 150 people in the town, which sits in a territory contested by Sudan and South Sudan. "I came as a refugee, running from Sudan … but still faced with another conflict here," Al-Amin told Reuters, nursing shrapnel injuries on his right hand and left leg.
这次袭击摧毁了市场里的商店和摊位；阿尔-阿明正是通过在这些地方出售燃料和推手推车来谋生的。
The attack flattened shops and stalls in the market where Al-Amin offloads fuel and pushes wheelbarrows to earn a living.
这一事件凸显了与苏丹武装部队和“快速支援部队”之间的冲突相关的供应链如何延伸到整个地区，将周边国家也卷入了这场涉及非洲之角乃至更广泛地区外部势力的冲突之中。
It highlighted how far the tentacles of supply lines linked to the war between the RSF and the Sudanese Armed Forces stretch across the region, sucking neighbours into a conflict involving proxy powers from across the Horn of Africa and broader region.
五位关注该冲突的外交官和分析师表示，阿米埃市场是服务于“快速支援部队”的燃料供应网络的重要组成部分。据消息人士透露，大量进口到南苏丹的燃料都是通过阿比埃转运的：这些燃料首先被“快速支援部队”的网络收集起来，然后再分批运往南苏丹。
Five diplomats and analysts following the conflict said the market was an established part of a fuel network serving the RSF fighting across Sudan. A large volume of the fuel imported into South Sudan is transported through Abyei, where it is collected by RSF networks then transported through Sudan in smaller shipments, the sources said.
“很明显，这次袭击的目标不仅是燃料储存设施，还有一辆涉嫌运输燃料的卡车，”一位外交官说。“‘快速支援部队’仍然驻扎在阿比埃……由于他们已经融入了当地社区，因此很难被识别出来。”外交官和专家们指出，南苏丹的官员们为燃料向“快速支援部队”网络的运输提供了便利。南苏丹外交部发言人并未立即回应对此事的评论请求。
"It's clear that the attack in Amiet market targeted fuel storage facilities as well as a truck suspected of carrying fuel," a diplomat said. "The RSF is still present in Abyei... it's difficult to identify them because they are embedded in the community here." Officials in South Sudan have facilitated the import and transit of fuel to RSF networks, the diplomats and experts said. A spokesperson for the foreign ministry did not immediately respond to requests for comment on that.
阿卜耶伊绝不能成为苏丹冲突的战场苏丹政府周四晚间就此事首次发表官方评论，称其“与这起悲剧事件毫无任何关联”。由快速支援部队主导的平行政府呼吁联合国展开调查，但未就其武装力量在阿卜耶伊的存在作出评论。
ABYEI MUST NOT BECOME A THEATRE FOR CONFLICT IN SUDAN In its first official comments on the incident, Sudan's government said late on Thursday it had "no connection whatsoever to this tragic incident". The RSF-led parallel government has called for a UN investigation without commenting on its presence in Abyei.
本周早些时候，阿卜耶伊看守政府新闻部长约哈纳·阿科尔·恩戈尔表示，苏丹军队应对此次袭击负责，朱巴方面已召见苏丹大使。
Earlier in the week, Yohana Akol Ngor, the caretaker minister of information in Abyei, said Sudan's army was responsible for the attack and Juba summoned Sudan’s ambassador.
周五，南苏丹外交部发言人阿普克·阿尤埃尔·马延表示，此次袭击的具体情况，包括与据报道快速支援部队在阿卜耶伊存在之间的任何关联，尚未得到确认。
On Friday, Apuk Ayuel Mayen, spokesperson for South Sudan's foreign ministry, said the circumstances of the attack, including any connection to the reported presence of the RSF in Abyei, had not yet been established.
南苏丹总统萨尔瓦·基尔在一份声明中表示：“阿卜耶伊绝不能成为苏丹冲突的战场。”
"Abyei must not become a theatre for conflict in Sudan," South Sudanese President Salva Kiir said in a statement.
联合国援助人员估计，自2023年苏丹战争爆发以来，已有约2.5万人逃往阿卜耶伊。联合国维和人员曾就快速支援部队检查站发出警告阿明表示，空袭发生时当地没有快速支援部队武装人员，但他们确实会不时出现。
UN aid workers estimate some 25,000 people have fled to Abyei since Sudan's war began in 2023. UN PEACEKEEPERS HAVE WARNED OF RSF CHECKPOINTS Al-Amin said no RSF fighters were present when the air strike took place but that they did come from time to time.
联合国阿卜耶伊临时安全部队（UNISFA）过去曾警告称，快速支援部队在阿卜耶伊设立了检查站，其存在加剧了当地的不安全局势。
The United Nations Interim Security Force for Abyei (UNISFA) has warned in the past that the RSF have mounted checkpoints in Abyei and their presence there had increased insecurity.
阿卜耶伊商会主席乔尔·登·乔尔表示，快速支援部队确实将该市场用作补给燃料的地点，以支持其在苏丹科尔多凡和达尔富尔地区的行动，但周一当地并无其人员，喀土穆无权在那里发动空袭。
Chol Deng Chol, chairperson of the chamber of commerce in Abyei, said the RSF does use the market as a place to stock up on fuel for operations in Sudan’s Kordofan and Darfur regions but none were there on Monday and Khartoum had no right to carry out a strike there.
他说：“如果他们想制止这一切，就必须在自己的领土上采取行动。”他还补充说，此次袭击摧毁了10辆油罐车。
“If they want to stop this, they must do it in their territory,” he said, adding that 10 tankers were destroyed in the attack.
