Gunfire Resumes as Sundan's 24-Hour Truce Ends Sudan
shelling and gunfire were heard again in Khartoum and its twin city of Omdurman just 10 minutes after the truce ended at 6:00 am .between forces loyal to army chief and de facto leader Abdel al-Burhan and fighters commanded by his former deputy, Mohamed Hamdan Daglo, known as Hemeti, who leads the Rapid Support Forces .
War between Sudan's army and the Rapid Support Forces broke out on April 15, 2023 as the two military groups that once teamed up to depose a council trying to restore democratic rule, turned on each other and started vying for control. Sudan is currently ruled by a so-called Transitional Sovereignty Council, a military junta headed by Al-Burhan.
Although Khartoum has been the hub of fighting, it has also spread to other areas, notably the western Darfur region, which is still suffering from a conflict that hit its high point in the early 2000s.both internally and externally and triggered a major humanitarian crisis. More than 1,800 people have been killed in the fighting, according to the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project.
