Sudan: weekly truce entered into force

In Sudan, where from mid -April of this year, clashes between the army and the quick response forces (SBR) broke out, a seven -day ceasefire entered into force.

A few hours before the ceasefire, the warring parties fought using heavy and light weapons in various areas of Hartum.

In cities such as Bakhri and Ummdurman, where there were also a collision, the lull has been observed in the last day before entering the ceasefire.

A truce agreement was signed in Gidd through the mediation of Saudi Arabia. The ceasefire in Sudan entered into force at 21:45 local time.

Army of Sudan and the SBR has already agreed seven times about a truce, but the agreements were repeatedly violated by the parties.

As the humanitarian situation worsens, tens of thousands of Hartum inhabitants continue to leave their homes and look for shelters in safer regions, both within the country and abroad.

The Trade Union of Sudan’s doctors said that the number of those who died during clashes in Sudan from April 15 increased to 863 people, wounded to 3531.
