Sudan ceasefire fails as fighting and attacks persist.

Explosions were heard in Khartoum despite a temporary 24-hour ceasefire proposed to allow civilians to obtain necessities like food and water. The fighting has left an estimated 270 people dead over four days, according to the World Health Organization. The UN and other aid groups suspended many of their humanitarian programs after aid workers and their offices came under attack during the fighting. The recent fighting threatens to plunge Sudan into a wider conflict and make the country's shift to civilian rule even more difficult.
