Warplanes have bombed Khartoum fresh, as fighting between Sudan’s army and paramilitary forces enters its third week. The United Nations warned that the African country was falling apart with each passing day.
Fresh airstrikes and artillery fire have been reported in Sudan’s capital despite a 72-hour ceasefire agreement. Several ceasefire agreements have been signed in the past two weeks, but clashes continue. The country’s army and the paramilitary group Rapid Support Forces have blamed each other for the latest clashes.
It should be noted that a war has been going on since April 15 between the country’s army led by General Abdul Fattah Al-Barhan and the paramilitary force (RSF) led by former deputy Muhammad Hamdan Daqloo, who has become his rival, to gain control over the country.
The ongoing fighting in the African country has now entered its third week. On the other hand, United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres has said while talking to the Saudi-owned Al-Arabiya television, “When the country is falling apart, no one has the right to fight for power.”
Evacuation of foreigners continues
Meanwhile, various countries, including the United States, are evacuating their diplomatic staff and other citizens through special flights and port routes. Indonesia According to United Nations estimates, more than 500 people have been killed and more than 4,000 injured in this fight. The United Nations also says that at least 75,000 people have been internally displaced due to the fighting.

The impact of the Sudan conflict on the region
Meanwhile, former Sudanese Prime Minister Abdullah Hamdok warned on Saturday that the conflict in the African country could become one of the world’s worst civil wars if it is not resolved soon.
On the other hand, the United Nations World Food Program (WFP) has warned that the ongoing fighting in Sudan could plunge the entire East African region into a humanitarian crisis. According to WFP director Martin Frick, a third of Sudan’s population was starving before the fighting began.
Speaking to reporters in the German capital, Martin Frick said, “Now there is a shortage of everything and food prices are skyrocketing.”
On the other hand, sudden increase in prices of goods continues in Chad and South Sudan, neighboring countries of Sudan.
