Eid ceasefire ignored as clashes continue in Sudan.
TL;DR
Despite truce announcements by both the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) to mark the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Fitr, heavy fighting continues in the capital, Khartoum, dealing a blow to international efforts to end almost a week of fighting between the military and a rival paramilitary group. The fighting has killed hundreds, mainly in Khartoum and the west of Sudan, tipping the continent’s third-largest country into a humanitarian disaster. Both sides accuse the other of thwarting the transition.
