A new ceasefire attempt agreed between the Army and the paramilitary forces that have been waging a war since mid-April. This truce should last 72 hours and allow the delivery of humanitarian aid throughout the country since some 25 million inhabitants survive thanks to humanitarian assistance. However, there is little hope that it will come to pass as previous truces have not been honored.
First modification:
General Mohamed Hamdan Daglo of the Rapid Support Forces (FAR) and General Fatah al Burhan, head of the Sudanese Armed Forces (FAS), agreed to a 72-hour ceasefire to allow for the delivery of humanitarian aid. In addition, they promised not to take advantage of this situation to restore their forces.
The mediators of this truce were the United States and the kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The latter announced through a statement that it was also agreed to “allow freedom of movement and delivery of humanitarian aid throughout Sudan.”
Khartoum, the capital, has seen an upsurge in deadly aerial bombardments over the past two days, said the local resistance committee, a militant cell that organizes aid to the city’s population. Several neighborhoods do not have potable water and the electrical network works only a few hours a week.
The Darfur region in the west of the country, already devastated by a civil war in the early 2000s, is heading towards a new “humanitarian disaster,” UN Assistant Secretary General for Humanitarian Affairs Martin warned Thursday. Griffiths.
Testimonies of massive attacks against civilians are multiplying in that region, from where some 149,000 fled to Chad since the start of the fighting on April 15, according to UN data. The doctors assure that it is an exodus, and even the wounded have to be transferred to the neighboring country to receive care.
Some 2,000 people have died in Sudan as a result of the conflict, according to the NGO Acled. The UN estimates the number of displaced persons throughout the country at 2.2 million and some 25 million of the country’s 45 million inhabitants currently survive thanks to humanitarian assistance.
Numerous previous truces were violated, even after the United States imposed sanctions on both sides.
