Latest Ceasefire Holding In Sudan Despite Early Violation

Latest ceasefire in Sudan now appears to be holding despite early violation of the deal that would enable the delivery of badly needed humanitarian aid.

It is the first truce to have been formally agreed and signed by both sides. But there were reports of airstrikes and clashes in the capital Khartoum as it came into force on Monday evening.

In the cities of Omdurman and Bahri which Adjoin the capital, people said they’d heard gunfire.

Meanwhile, a special United Nations (UN) security council meeting is under way focusing on the war in Sudan that has seen more than a million people displaced over the last five weeks.

The UN envoy to Sudan, Volker Perthes, warned of a growing ethnic dimension to the conflict between the army and the rival Rapid Support Forces (RSF).

He said it was at risk of expanding with serious implications for the region.

“While this development is encouraging, it’s important to note that fighting and troop movements have persisted even today, despite the commitment from both sides to refrain from seeking military advantage prior to the ceasefire’s implementation,” Perthes stated during his address to the United Nations Security Council in New York.
