Sudan's Warring Parties Extend Fragile TruceSudan's military and the rival paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have agreed to extend a fragile 7-day ceasefire agreement for five extra days, as mediators Saudi Arabia and the U.S. maintain hope that it could lead to a longer-term truce. The week-long ceasefire, which barely held amid reports of ongoing fighting, was extended shortly before it was set to expire. Mediators argue the truce helped with humanitarian assistance. A day earlier, mediators from the two countries accused both the army, under the leadership of General Abdel Fattah Burhan and Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo's RSF of "posturing for further escalation." Meanwhile, also on Monday, May 29, 2023 the United Nations' World Food Program announced that in a "major breakthrough", it is starting to reach thousands of residents trapped in their homes in capital city Khartoum. Over a million people have been displaced and hundreds killed since fighting began in April, 2023. Hundreds of thousands of people have crossed into neighbouring countries to seek refuge.
