KHARTOUM - Fighting in Sudan’s capital entered a second week on Saturday as crackling gunfire shattered a temporary truce, the latest battles between forces of rival generals that have already left hundreds dead and thousands wounded.But on Saturday morning, bursts of gunfire resumed.
Mr Daglo said in a statement he had “discussed the current crisis” with Mr Guterres, and was “focused on the humanitarian truce, safe passages, and protecting humanitarian workers”.The fighting has seen the RSF take on the regular army, with neither side seemingly having seized the advantage.It formed from members of the Janjaweed militia that led years of violence in the western Darfur region.
Later, the RSF said it was ready to “partially” open “all airports” in Sudan to evacuate foreign citizens, although it is not possible to verify which airports they control. Mr Burhan and Mr Daglo’s dispute centred on the planned integration of the RSF into the regular army, a key condition for a deal aimed at restoring Sudan’s democratic transition.
