What we know so far about the armed conflict in Sudan

By admin On Apr 19, 2023

Tensions erupted in Khartoum as a result of a power struggle between the country’s military and paramilitary forces

The battle for control of Sudan has entered its fifth day, following the failure of a 24-hour armistice declared on Tuesday by the Sudanese military and a rival paramilitary group.

What is the way forward?

Pressure is mounting on the warring parties to call a halt to the fighting so that stranded residents can receive desperately needed relief and supplies. Both sides have accused the other of violating the previous ceasefire. The RSF has again announced its “full commitment to a complete ceasefire” in the next 24 hours, “starting from six o’clock in the evening today, Wednesday, corresponding to 4/19/2023, until six o’clock in the evening tomorrow, Thursday, 20/4/2023.” The group has urged its adversary, which has yet to comment on the proposal, to “abide by the armistice according to the announced time.”

According to Al Jazeera, while other countries are concerned that the conflict could escalate, the Sudanese doctors’ committee has warned of a looming “paralysis of the health system in Sudan.”
