Sudan sees renewal of conflict as ceasefire ends

Violent confrontations have erupted across the capital of Sudan as a three-day ceasefire, which expired in the early morning, neared its end.

Eyewitnesses have reported clashes between the Sudanese army and the rival Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in Khartoum.

Furthermore, there have been accounts of anti-aircraft fire during a military aircraft operation in Omdurman.

The most recent cessation of hostilities was facilitated by Saudi Arabia and the United States. However, similar to previous ceasefires, there have been reports of violations from both sides involved in the conflict.

The armed conflict between Sudan’s army and the paramilitary RSF initially commenced in April and has continued to escalate.
