April 17, 2023

Khartoum: Fighting continues for the third consecutive day in Sudan’s capital Khartoum, in which the death toll has risen to 97, while hundreds of civilians are injured. This information was given through a release on Monday. The tense situation in Sudan has caused widespread concern in the international community, with the United Nations, the African Union, the Arab League and other international organizations calling for an immediate ceasefire.

Violent clashes broke out on Saturday between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in Khartoum and other cities. Both sides accused each other of starting the conflict. Tension between the two militaries escalated in northern Sudan on Wednesday after the RSF moved military vehicles near a military airport, which the army considers illegal. There are deep differences between the Sudanese military and the RSF, particularly regarding their integration into the army as stipulated through an agreement signed between military and civilian leaders on December 5, 2022.
