Rapid Support accuses the army of bombarding its positions with artillery and aviation

It is not yet known which sites were bombed today, according to the Rapid Support Forces.

For its part, the Sudanese army announced the destruction of combat vehicles belonging to the Rapid Support Forces, which were used in an attack against the command of the military region of Bahri.

The Sudanese army had expressed its hope that the Rapid Support Forces would respect the truce negotiated by IGAD, underlining its agreement to send an envoy to negotiate the truce with the high-level mechanism composed of the presidents of South Sudan, Kenya and Djibouti.

The war between the army and the Rapid Support Forces has entered its third week and escalated in the capital, Khartoum, with no hope of resolving the conflict in the near future.

For its part, the Rapid Support Forces posted a statement on Facebook stating that its forces “still control 90% of the three cities of Khartoum and affirm their full commitment to the declared humanitarian truce”.

According to the United Nations, around 100,000 people have fled Sudan to neighboring countries, with little food or water.

The conflict has spilled over into Darfur, where the RSF originated from tribal militias that fought alongside government forces to eliminate rebels in a war that dates back 20 years.

Earlier on Wednesday, the Commander of the Rapid Support Forces in Sudan, Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, confirmed that he had discussed with the United Nations Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs, Martin Griffiths, the evolving humanitarian situation in the country, committing to open and protect humanitarian corridors to facilitate the movement of citizens in places controlled by its forces and to ensure access for aid to the needy.

Daglo expressed his willingness to cooperate and coordinate to alleviate the current crisis in Sudan.

Yesterday Wednesday, the UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs, Martin Griffiths, called on parties to the conflict in Sudan to commit to ensuring the safe delivery of humanitarian assistance.

Griffiths expressed, during a press conference from Port Sudan, his hope to hold a direct meeting with the two parties within two or three days.
