HEAVY shelling in the Sudanese capital Khartoum and its sister cities of Khartoum Bahri (North) and Omdurman continued on the morning of Monday May 22, hours before a seven-day ceasefire was scheduled to begin at 9.45pm local time.
The “Agreement on a Short-Term Ceasefire and Humanitarian Arrangements” was signed on May 20 by the envoys of the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) — former allies and partners-in-coup who have been fighting each other since April 15.
By then, the death toll of civilians caught in the crossfire had climbed to 850, while nearly 4,000 others were injured, said the Sudanese Doctors Union (SDU), stressing that these figures do not include casualties among fighters.
