苏丹准军事组织快速支援部队对五座发电站发动了协同无人机袭击，导致该国东部大范围停电，一名政府官员表示。
Sudan’s paramilitary Rapid Support Forces have launched a coordinated drone attack against five power stations, causing mass power outages across the country’s east, a government official said.
该官员在不愿透露姓名的情况下说，无人机袭击了杰济拉州和加达里夫州各两座发电站以及白尼罗州一座发电站，“导致这三个州大部分地区停电”。
The drones hit two power stations each in the states of Al-Jazira and Gedaref and one in White Nile state, “resulting in power outages across large parts of these three states”, the official said on condition of anonymity.
这三个州均由苏丹武装部队控制，后者自2023年4月起一直在与其前盟友快速支援部队交战。
All three states are controlled by the Sudanese army, which has been at war with the RSF, its former ally, since April 2023.
联合国曾多次警告，对发电站的定期袭击威胁到数百万人的健康和基本服务，这些人已面临全球最大规模的饥饿危机。
The United Nations has repeatedly warned that regular attacks on power stations threaten health and services for millions of people who are already facing the world’s largest hunger crisis.
居住在加达里夫州法奥的巴比克尔·优素福说，当地从清晨开始就停电了。
Babiker Youssef, a resident of Al-Fao, in Gedaref, said the power had been out there since early morning.
“儿子患有糖尿病，胰岛素必须放在冰箱里保存，”他在电话中说，并表示担心如果药物变质将无法更换。“我们不知道电力何时能恢复，”他说。
“My son is diabetic, his insulin has to be stored in the fridge,” he said over the phone, adding that he feared he would not be able to replace the medication if it spoiled. “We have no idea when the power will come back,” he said.
在过去准军事组织用无人机袭击发电站和水电大坝后，电力曾中断数日之久。
Electricity has been cut for days at a time after past paramilitary drone strikes on power stations and hydroelectric dams.
苏丹的战争目前主要通过无人机进行，双方在全国范围内发动复杂的袭击，一次就能造成数十名平民丧生。
Sudan’s war is currently being fought primarily via drones, with both sides launching sophisticated attacks across the country, killing dozens of civilians at a time.
据联合国统计，仅10月前三周，无人机袭击就造成300多人死亡、数百人受伤。
In the first three weeks of October, drone strikes killed more than 300 people and injured hundreds more, according to a UN tally.
非洲第三大国家、拥有约5000万人口的苏丹已被战争摧残，援助人员估计死亡人数超过20万人。
Africa’s third largest country, home to an estimated 50 million people, has been ravaged by the war, which aid workers estimate has killed more than 200,000 people.
苏丹大多数医院被迫关闭，至少800万儿童失学，该国大片地区无法获得基本服务。
The majority of Sudan’s hospitals have been forced to close, at least 8 million children are out of school and swathes of the country cannot access basic services.
54岁的农民阿卜杜勒哈菲兹·达阿法拉通过电话从杰济拉州的朱奈德镇表示：“电力供应三个月前刚刚开始好转，民兵摧毁的发电站刚修好，我们原本指望灌溉水泵终于能重新运转了。”
Abdelhafez Daafallah, a 54-year-old farmer, said by phone from Al-Junaid town in Al-Jazira: “The electricity had just started to improve three months ago, the power station the militia had destroyed was just repaired and we had hope our irrigation pumps would finally start running again.
“我们原本希望终于能恢复耕种，但现在发电站又遭袭击了，”他说，语气沮丧，因为已有近四年无法耕种土地。
“We hoped we would be able to finally get back to farming, but now the station has been hit,” he said, frustrated after nearly four years unable to work his land.
自去年政府军从快速支援部队手中收复该州以来，杰济拉州的农民一直在努力修复和重新耕种土地。
Farmers in Al-Jazira have struggled to rehabilitate and replant their land since the army recaptured the state from the RSF last year.
在东部的盖达里夫州，37岁的杂货店主易卜拉欣·穆罕默德表示，他在袭击发生前“已经面临数小时的停电”。“现在冰箱里还有鸡肉，我们要么损失全部库存，要么被迫以任何价格甩卖，这仍然是亏本，”他说。
To the east, in Gedaref, Ibrahim Mohammed, 37, a grocer, said he was “already facing power cuts for hours before the strike”. “Now I have chicken in the fridge, we either lose our entire stock, or will be forced to sell it off at any price, which is still a loss,” he said.
苏丹还在应对前所未有的通货膨胀，其货币在最近几周贬值了25%以上。
Sudan is also grappling with unprecedented inflation and its currency has lost more than 25% of its value in recent weeks.
