A claimed 24-hour ceasfire agreed by Sudan’s worrying genernals has broken down – with aid workers and officials warning some areas are just days away from running out of food and water.
Fighting was still underway in Sudan’s capital hours after the ceasefire was supposed to take effect. The military and a paramilitary group known as the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) each accused the other of violating the truce, which was to take effect Tuesday at 6pm local time. Residents said gunfire and explosions continued to echo across the capital, Khartoum, and that while some people had ventured out to buy food, most were sheltering in place. The US Embassy also said the fighting was “ongoing” and advised Americans to stay indoors.
