Sudan's Unraveling Conflict: Death Toll Rises Amid Cease-Fire Violations.

Thousands of Americans, Europeans and Africans fled Sudan on Tuesday as a new, three-day truce did little to ease the violence engulfing the war-torn nation. Explosions and gunfire echoed across the capital of Khartoum despite the cease-fire negotiated by the United States and Saudi Arabia, the latest of several declared but mostly ignored since the recent fighting broke out April 15. The World Heath Agency warned of a "biological risk" at a seized lab, and the U.N. Population Fund said the fighting threatens tens of thousands of pregnant women. U.S. diplomats have been evacuated and the Biden administration said it was aiding the exit of private U.S. citizens.
