The sounds of battles and air raids resounded in Khartoum on Monday night, despite the fact that a new ceasefire agreement has officially entered into force
Although a new ceasefire agreement officially entered into force on Monday night, the sounds of battles and airstrikes resounded in the city The Sudanese capital, Khartoum.
This came after the week-long truce officially entered into force at 19:45 GMT, after a day that witnessed continued air raids and explosions in Khartoum.
But it seems that its fate is threatened to be the same as its predecessors, as residents in the northeastern suburbs of Khartoum told AFP that they heard the sounds of clashes after the start of the cease-fire.
In the south of the capital, residents reported “hearing the sounds of air strikes after the scheduled date for the truce.”
It is indicated that it was done Signing an agreement in Jeddah Saudi Arabia on Saturday night, between the army led by Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan, and the Rapid Support Forces headed by Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, stipulated the implementation of a 7-day cease-fire in order to facilitate the passage of humanitarian aid.
This reinforced the doubts of many Sudanese about the possibility of this truce to hold, especially since the two sides had previously agreed on nearly 12 truces, all of which were violated minutes after it entered into force.
While the fighting that erupted on April 15 (2023) between the two sides left heavy losses in the infrastructure.
Most hospitals are out of service, whether in Khartoum or the western Darfur region, where fighting has also intensified.
Those of the capital’s nearly 5 million residents who could not flee have been forced to confinement to their homes without water or electricity.
More than 860 people have been killed and at least 5,287 injured, according to the World Health Organization, although the true death toll is believed to be much higher.
