Saudi Arabia and the United States called on Sunday for the extension of a ceasefire deal that has brought some let-up in a six-week war between military factions but said both sides had impeded aid efforts and were posturing for further escalation.
Both countries are remotely monitoring the truce and called on the army and the RSF to renew the “imperfectly observed” ceasefire to allow for humanitarian work.
The RSF has said it is ready to discuss the possibility of renewal and that it would continue to monitor the truce “to test the seriousness and commitment of the other party to proceed with the renewal of the agreement or not”.Nearly 350,000 people have crossed Sudan’s borders since the fighting erupted, with the largest numbers heading north to Egypt from Khartoum or west to Chad from Darfur.In Khartoum, factories, offices, homes and banks have been looted or destroyed.
The United Nations and aid groups say that despite the truce, they have struggled to get bureaucratic approvals and security guarantees to transport aid and staff to Khartoum and other places of need. Warehouses have been looted.
