Residents of Sudan’s capital reported heavy air strikes in central Khartoum amid a surge in looting while Saudi Arabia said negotiators were working toward a short-term ceasefire.
In the first report on the talks thus far, the Saudi foreign ministry said on Tuesday that the negotiations aimed to reach “an effective short-term ceasefire”, Saudi state TV Al-Ekhbariya said.
The United Nations estimates that 5 million additional people will need emergency assistance inside Sudan while 860,000 are expected to flee to neighboring states that were already in crisis at a time when rich countries have cut back on aid. Homes, shops and warehouses have all been targeted, residents said. Sudan’s Banks Union condemned burglary and vandalism at some branches, saying banks were seeking to restore services if conditions allowed.The eruption of conflict between Sudan’s army and RSF risks a prolonged war that could draw in outside powers and unleash a new humanitarian crisis across the region.
