Army leader Abdel-Fatteh al-Burhan wrote to UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres on Friday asking him to replace his envoy Volker Perthes, sources in the Sudanese presidency said.
Army sources said the military had also intercepted weapons smuggled into a Red Sea province of Sudan by a foreign country, without giving details.The army and RSF began a seven-day truce on Monday intended to allow access to aid and services after battles since mid-April that have killed hundreds and created a refugee crisis.Despite a drop in fighting, there have still been reports throughout the week of clashes, artillery fire and air strikes.
“It’s all part of the chaos of this war,” said Taysir Abdelrahim, who found out from abroad her home was looted. “Even if we were in Sudan there’s nothing you can do about it.” However, it is unclear how that and other aid will reach Sudanese without security guarantees and bureaucratic approvals.
