The World Health Organization said on Friday that 413 people had been killed including 1 US citizen and 3,551 injured in the ongoing fighting between the two main factions of the ruling military regime.
Sudan’s paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) announced a ceasefire early this morning after six days of fighting to coincide with the start of the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Fitr and “to open humanitarian corridors to evacuate citizens and give them the opportunity to greet their families” the RSF said in a statement.
Sudan’s military leader Abdel Fattah al-Burhan released an on-camera statement for Eid, but made no mention of the 72-hour ceasefire announced by the paramilitary RSF.
Bombing and shelling was reported in several areas of the capital Khartoum after the 6am ceasefire was due to begin.
