Today, Wednesday, the UN Mission in Sudan accused the army and the Rapid Support Forces of committing various violations during the Eid al-Adha ceasefire.
Violent crime and rape
The Mission held the Rapid Support Forces and their allied militias responsible for crimes of violence, rape and ethnic violence in Darfur.
He accused the Sudanese army of being responsible for attacks on populated areas and aerial bombardments of civilians.
eid truce
A few hours after the Sudanese army declared a truce, today (Wednesday) in the capital Khartoum and south of Omdurman, on the first day of Eid al-Adha, military aircraft took off, and intermittent firing from heavy weapons was heard.
Combat aircraft carried out air strikes against isolated targets in Khartoum, combined with listening to the sound of ground-based anti-aircraft missiles, without revealing the nature of these targets.
Hadn couldn’t resist
Fighting between the army and the RSF erupted suddenly in mid-April as military and civilian parties put the finishing touches on the internationally supported political process. This process was to culminate in elections within two years.
However, both sides disagreed on plans to integrate the Rapid Support Forces into the army, and the conflict flared up later.
While several regional, Arab and African initiatives have so far failed to launch a direct dialogue between the leaders of the two conflicting armed forces, just like dozens of ceasefires have failed to continue and maintain.
