    US State Department in Sudan urges proxy to extend pause in recognition until end

    The US State Department on Thursday urged the parties in Sudan to extend a ceasefire through the end of the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Fitr, and said Washington’s view is the 24-hour ceasefire announced on Wednesday had mostly held despite renewed heavy gunfire that erupted on thursday.

    Forces commanded by two previously allied leaders of Sudan’s ruling council began a violent power struggle last weekend that has so far killed more than 330 people, tipping a nation reliant on food aid into what the United Nations calls a humanitarian catastrophe.

    No respite in Sudan, ceasefire broken and war between rivals

    KHARTOUM: Terrified Sudanese who have been trapped for days in their homes by fighting in the capital of Khartoum fled on Wednesday, hauling out whatever belongings they could carry and trying to get out of the city, after an internationally brokered truce failed and rival forces battled in the streets for a fifth day.

    The swift failure of the 24-hour cease-fire, despite pressure from the United States and regional powers, suggested that Sudan’s two top generals were determined to crush each other in a potentially prolonged fight for control of the country. It also underscored the inability of the international community to force a stop to the violence, with millions of people caught in the crossfire.

    As explosions and heavy gunfire shook Khartoum, residents of multiple neighborhoods told The Associated Press they could see hundreds, including women and children, leaving their homes, carrying luggage, some leaving by foot, others crowding into vehicles.
