| Anti-war watchdog warns against expansion of armed conflict in Sudan |
| 2023-04-30 |
| Or what? [SUDANTRIBUNE] An anti-war watchdog in Sudan has warned against the expansion of the armed conflict in Khartoum between the Sudanese armed forces and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) that broke out nearly two weeks ago. In a weekly bulletin issued on Thursday, the Sudan Conflict Observer (SCO) said that "the army prepare to launch a new offensive on the RSF troops which are spread in residential neighbourhoods and public buildings in Khartoum." "With RSF fighters sheltering in civilian buildings the fighting may be more intense and concentrated than during previous phases," said the SCO which is composed of Ayin, Human Rights Hub and the Sudan Transparency and Policy Tracker. "Sudanese belligerents accepted to meet in Juba on Friday to discuss a permanent ceasefire with a mechanism to monitor its implementation," the report said. However, there's more than one way to skin a cat... on the same day, "the army commander-in-chief Gen Abdel Fattah al-Burhan excluded to negotiate with the RSF commander Mohammed Hamdan Daglo Hemetti." The anti-war watchdog further said that "the festivities in West Darfur between the Sudanese army and RSF turbans draw civilians into the fighting along tribal lines." |

| #1 I bet I could do that anti-war watchdog job pretty effectively. Decry pretty much anything that happens. Watch stuff. Probably wouldn’t want to work in lousy war torn places like Sudan. Maybe I could be an antiwar watchdog in Luxembourg where the restaurants are better. |
