🔥💣 “Fighting Continues in Sudan Despite Cease-Fire Announcement” 🕒🥊
Arab media reported that Sudan’s military leaders and the Rapid Support Forces paramilitary group had agreed to a 24-hour pause in fighting, starting at 6 p.m., but fighting continued when the hour came. 🌍📰
Here are the latest developments in Sudan. 💡🇸🇩
Several residents in the capital, Khartoum, reported loud blasts and gunfire as the hour for the announced cease-fire on Tuesday passed, suggesting it was not holding despite international pressure. 😰🌃
A United Nations spokesman, Stéphane Dujarric, said that the fighting in Sudan was continuing with no sign of abatement and called on the warring parties to pause the fighting so civilians could evacuate to safe zones and get essential supplies. 🌏🗣️
The 24-hour truce, which was supposed to begin at 6 p.m., involves the Sudanese Army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, which have been battling for control of the country for four days now. ⏰🔫
It remained unclear which side was in control of the country, or which of the two dueling forces had the advantage in the spreading conflict that has killed at least 185 people and wounded more than 1,800 others. The fighting has dashed plans in Sudan to establish a democratic, civilian government after decades of military rule. 🤔🗳️
The head of the R.S.F., Lt. Gen. Mohamed Hamdan, had called for the truce after speaking with the American secretary of state, Antony J. Blinken. Mr. Blinken said on Tuesday that a U.S. diplomatic convoy had come under attack a day earlier in Khartoum but that no one was injured. 🚗💥
The Sudanese Army had issued conflicting statements about whether it would honor the cease-fire. Arabic language news media reported that the army chief, Gen. Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, had agreed to the deal. 📢🤷♂️
But in another statement, the army accused the R.S.F. of trying to use a cease-fire “to cover up the crushing defeat it will receive within hours.” 🕵️♂️💣
Previous cease-fires in recent days also have not held. On Sunday and Monday, both sides continued fighting after the United Nations and the African Union called for three-hour truces. 🤝⌛
Check out the latest developments:
🆘🌐 Heavy artillery and blasts shook up the city of Khartoum, only half an hour after the cease-fire was supposed to start. Three people in separate neighborhoods reported massive explosions coming from the army headquarters and the international airport. 💥✈️
The assault on the American diplomatic convoy on Monday might have been linked to the Rapid Support Forces, according to Mr. Blinken. On the same day, the European Union’s ambassador to Sudan was also attacked, an incident the top EU diplomat, Josep Borrell Fontelles, called a “gross violation of the Vienna Convention.” 🚨🇪🇺
The security situation has been deteriorating in the northeastern African nation. Many people are stuck at home, without electricity and water for days. Over a dozen hospitals in Sudan have shut down, according to the Central Committee for Sudanese Doctors. The group reported that some medical facilities had been bombed or evacuated, while others faced shortages of doctors and medical supplies. 🏥💊
International officials have repeatedly called for an end to the fighting, but the conflict has crushed the hope of a democratic transition after the 2019 uprising that toppled Omar Hassan al-Bashir, the longtime autocrat. “There must be accountability for anyone — including military or political actors — who attempts to undermine or delay Sudan’s democratic progress,” said Linda Thomas-Greenfield, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. 🌐🕊️
The fourth day of clashes in the Muslim-majority nation coincided with the 27th day of the holy month of Ramadan, which many Muslims believe was the night the Quran was first revealed to the Prophet Muhammad. 🕌🌙
A foreign resident of Khartoum said in a phone interview that heavy gunfire and sounds of explosions erupted shortly after the proposed cease-fire was supposed to take effect on Tuesday evening. The person said families who had taken their children outside for fresh air after days of sheltering in place had to run back indoors when the violence resumed. Gunmen without uniforms roamed the streets of Khartoum, and many Sudanese families were leaving the capital for rural areas. 🏃♂️🌲
The spirit of unity in Sudan remains strong, but the people still need help and support. With so much fighting and uncertainty, the road to a stable, peaceful future is challenging. But the world is watching and hoping for the people of Sudan. 🌍❤️🇸🇩
