A battle of egos and the struggle for power are at the center of the fighting in Sudan that's killed more than 400 people over the last seven days.
The big picture: Both sides said Friday they'll abide by a three-day truce. But so far the fighting has continued, and the rivalry between military chief Gen. Abdul Fattah al-Burhan and Rapid Support Forces (RSF) head Gen. Mohammed Hamdan Dagalo — known as Hemedti — runs so deep that the chances of either side agreeing to a permanent cease-fire without more bloodshed appear to be slim.
