Sudan ceasefire in danger as residents report fighting, warplanes – Reuters
KHARTOUM, May 23 (Reuters) - Relative calm prevailed on Tuesday, the second day of a week-long ceasefire in Sudan, raising hopes of a pause in fighting even as witnesses reported hearing some gunfire in the capital.
After five weeks of fierce battles between the army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), the warring factions on Saturday agreed to a seven-day truce that began at 9:45 p.m. (1945 GMT) on Monday, aimed to allow for the delivery of aid.
The ceasefire deal has raised hopes of a pause in a war that has driven nearly 1.1 million people from their homes, including more than 250,000 who have fled to neighbouring countries, threatening to destabilise a volatile region.
