Sudan’s warring factions signed an agreement late on Saturday, May 20, for a seven-day ceasefire as fighting that has plunged the country into chaos and displaced more than a million entered its sixth week. | Reuters
The fighting between Sudan’s army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces has led to a collapse of order. Stocks of food, cash and essentials are rapidly dwindling, and mass looting has hit banks, embassies, aid warehouses, and even churches.
“We faced heavy artillery fire early this morning, the whole house was shaking,” Sanaa Hassan, a 33-year-old living in the al-Salha neighborhood of Omdurman, told Reuters by phone.The RSF is embedded in residential districts, drawing almost continual air strikes by the regular armed forces.Eyewitnesses in Khartoum said that the situation was relatively calm, although sporadic gunshots could be heard.
In recent days ground fighting has flared once again in the Darfur region, in the cities of Nyala and Zalenjei.
