The ongoing struggle for peace in Sudan.

Despite a new ceasefire, fighting continues in central Khartoum and heavy bombardment is heard in adjoining cities. The UN has called for safe passage of humanitarian aid after six trucks were looted and air raids in the capital undermined the truce. Most hospitals are out of service, and many areas have been left without power and water as supplies of food and fuel dwindle. About 100,000 people have fled Sudan to neighbouring countries. UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres has called on the international community to pressure the two commanders leading the fighting to stop the violence and allow a transition to civilian government.
