truce in SUDAN

Armed clashes broke out between the Sudanese army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (HDK) on the morning of April 15 in Khartoum and other cities, the capital of Sudan.

The disagreement between the army and the HDK over the military security reform, which provides for the “full participation of the HDK in the army”, had become a hot-button conflict in recent months. A week-long ceasefire went into effect on May 22, aimed at delivering humanitarian aid to the region and restoring basic services and infrastructure damaged in the conflict.

The ceasefire, which had been provided 7 times before, was repeatedly violated by both sides.

As the humanitarian situation in Khartoum worsens, tens of thousands of people continue to leave the capital for areas they consider safer, inside and outside the country. The Sudanese Doctors Union announced that 863 civilians have been killed and 3,531 people injured in clashes between the army and the HDK since April 15. (AA)
