Clashes between rival military factions erupted in Sudan’s capital on Wednesday, residents said, threatening to derail a fragile ceasefire to allow humanitarian aid to arrive and set the stage for a longer-lasting truce.
The ceasefire agreement, which is being monitored by Saudi Arabia and the United States, as well as the parties involved, was reached after five weeks of intense war in the capital Khartoum and outbreaks of violence in other areas of the country, including in Darfur, in the region. west.
The conflict pits the Sudan Army against the powerful Rapid Support Forces (RSF) group and has reached the heights of a humanitarian crisis, forcing more than 1.3 million people to flee their homes and threatening to destabilize the entire region.
The ceasefire brought a relative lull to clashes in Khartoum on Tuesday, although there are few signs of a rapid escalation of humanitarian relief.
The agreement was closed on Saturday, after negotiations in Jeddah mediated by Saudi Arabia and the United States. Previous ceasefire agreements that have been announced have failed to stop the fighting.
Saudi Arabia and the United States said late on Tuesday that members of a ceasefire monitoring mechanism, which includes representatives of the military and Rapid Support Forces, had committed to forwarding reports of truce violations through chains of command. .
