| Sudan ceasefire brings rare respite for Khartoum civilians |
| 2023-06-11 |
Not even a hudna — just a planned breather before picking up another armful of rocks to throw at each other. [AlAhram] Residents reported a welcome lull in fighting in the Sudanese capital Khartoum on Saturday after a 24-hour ceasefire between two warring generals took effect, but few believed it would hold.Fighting has raged in the north African country since mid-April, when army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and his former deputy Mohammed Hamdan Daglo, who commands the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), turned on each other. Multiple truces have been agreed and broken since the conflict flared, and Washington slapped sanctions on both rival generals after the last attempt collapsed at the end of May. |
