Despite the ceasefire negotiations, the situation in Sudan is still very bad. According to the assessment of the United Nations, in this country in the northeast of Africa, there is the worst humanitarian crisis in the world
Hours after the paramilitary Rapid Action Force (RSF) agreed to a ceasefire in Sudan, according to residents, several explosions took place near the capital Khartoum.
Residents were woken last night by explosions near the Wadi Sayyid military base, an eyewitness from the neighboring town of Omdurman, located on the other side of the Nile, reported. Khartoum belongs to areas of Sudan controlled by the Sudanese army, writes Deutsche Welle.
Neither the army nor the RSF gave any information about the incidents, nor about the number of possible victims in that country Africa.
On Thursday (November 6th), the RSF announced its agreement to a "humanitarian ceasefire" previously proposed by the United States, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia. So far, the Sudanese army has not commented on the ceasefire.
Despite the talks during the night from Thursday to Friday, attacks reportedly took place on several towns controlled by the Sudanese army. It was reported from Omdurman near Khartoum that at dawn they first heard the flight of a drone and then explosions near the power plant, which led to a blackout.
From Atbara, a town also controlled by the Sudanese army, about 300 kilometers north of Khartoum, a resident reported that several drones flew over the town overnight and were later shot down by air defenses. After that, several explosions were heard in the east of the city.
The region around the capital Khartoum has been relatively spared from fighting between the RSF and the army in recent months. Government forces regained control of Khartoum in March.
The RSF, on the other hand, after capturing the town of El Fasher in the southern Darfur region, expanded its attacks to other parts of the country, especially Kordofan in the central part of the country, which borders Darfur.
Since 2023, the army of commander Fatah al-Burhan and the RSF, which emerged from the infamous Arab militia of his former deputy Mohammed Hamdan Dagal, have been fighting for power in Sudan.
In 2019, al-Burhan and Dagalo together ousted the Islamic autocrat Omar al-Bashir from power. Burhan then became the leader of the military junta and the de facto leader of Sudan, and Dagalo his deputy. They promised to establish a civilian government in two years at the latest, but the conflict broke out because the RSF was not integrated into the regular army, which was supposed to happen according to the internationally supported transition plan.
Since the beginning of that conflict, several negotiations on a truce have been conducted, but without success.
According to the assessment of the United Nations, the worst humanitarian crisis in the world reigns in that country in the northeast of Africa. After capturing the city of al-Fashir in the Darfur region more than a week ago, the RSF now controls all five major cities in the region and almost half of the populated area.
According to the UN, 65.000 people have fled El Fasher, while tens of thousands are still trapped in the city. Fearing the spread of the conflict, tens of thousands of civilians have fled Kordofan in recent weeks.
Both warring parties accuse each other of war crimes and the most serious human rights violations, and both deny the accusations.
