Earlier, the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Reaction Forces (RRF, paramilitaries) announced another extension of the humanitarian truce for 72 hours. Despite this, the parties continue to accuse each other of violating the truce.
From April 15, fighting has been going on in Sudan between the Rapid Reaction Forces under the command of Mohammed Hamdan Daglo and the regular army. The opposing forces in Sudan are exchanging conflicting statements about military successes and control of facilities, launching a large-scale information war in the media and social networks. According to the Sudanese Ministry of Health, the death toll in the clashes in the country has reached 528, and almost 4,600 were injured.
UN Secretary General António Guterres, speaking at a meeting of the Security Council, called on the parties in Sudan to immediately stop hostilities. Volker Perthes, special representative of the organization's secretary general for Sudan, said that there were no unequivocal signs of the readiness of any of the parties to the conflict in Sudan for negotiations yet. On Saturday, a senior source in the Sudanese Foreign Ministry said that the parties to the conflict have appointed representatives for negotiations, which are likely to be held in the capital of South Sudan, Juba.
