Sudan's Truce Pledges Fail as Fighting Continues.

Despite a 72-hour ceasefire extension, Sudan's capital Khartoum and the adjacent city of Bahri were rocked by strikes from air, tanks, and artillery on Friday, as the army and Rapid Support Forces (RSF) continued their power struggle. The fighting has killed hundreds and displaced tens of thousands, with a refugee crisis brewing. The violence has also reawakened a two-decade-old conflict in the western Darfur region, where scores have died this week. Relief agencies have been largely unable to distribute food to the needy in Africa's third-largest country, where a third of its 46 million people were already reliant on donations.
