Many countries have an interest in a ceasefire in Sudan yet it doesn’t seem like they are willing to invest in ensuring that one holds.
A ceasefire was set to begin in Sudan over the weekend to mark the end of Ramadan, after days of civil conflict. However, it was unclear if the country would actually experience the promised several days of peace for the ceasefire.
The country is experiencing a struggle for power between the army and a paramilitary group, both of which were involved in a coup two years ago, and both of which appear to be trying to prevent the country from transitioning to civil war.
According to The National in the UAE, “witnesses in several areas of Khartoum reported a rare lull in fighting on Friday evening after explosions had earlier battered the city. Soldiers and paramilitary forces fought fierce street battles in densely populated districts of Khartoum, with witnesses reporting blasts near the army headquarters.”
