KHARTOUM: Mourners gathered to bury the dead and bodies lay in a Khartoum hospital on Sunday as deadly shelling and gunfire resumed after the end of a 24-hour ceasefire in Sudan.
But on Sunday they gathered on a sandy plot of land in the south of Sudan's capital to bury victims of an artillery strike. Her own home had been shelled, leaving her among more than 1,800 killed during eight weeks of war, according to figures from the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project. Asmaa al-Rih, who lives in the capital's northern suburbs, lamented the"return of terror" with"rockets and shells shaking the walls of houses" once again.
Sudan's military elites as well as Daglo amassed considerable wealth during the rule of longtime strongman Omar al-Bashir, whose government was subjected to decades of international sanctions before his overthrow in 2019. The mediators said in a joint statement they"share the frustration of the Sudanese people about the uneven implementation of previous ceasefires".
